Why We Live Here

Here’s a cool little story that helps remind us how great it is to be a part of this island community. You know Mike Scott right? He’s the Cable TV guy and also the Team Local guy who was featured in an Update story a few months ago. Well he was making a repair call the other day and… well I’ll let him tell you – here’s his post from the “FH Rant & Rave” group on Facebook:

Rave to people’s good nature!
Today I posted this on both trading groups. Within twenty minutes roughly 50 people replied or contacted me to donate a television. I picked one up and the woman was overjoyed! Just awesome! Here is what I posted:

“I do cable tv, and today I responded to a service call for a sweet little old lady. Her 30 year old 19″ tv finally gave up on her. She lives alone, and the tv is likely one of her most valued companions. I often receive old tube tv sets, from customers that upgrade, which I store at our office and hand out to customers just like this one who are on limited incomes. At the moment I have none. I’m looking for that old tube tv that you might have sitting collecting dust. Doesn’t need to be flat screen or big at all. 19″ would be perfect actually. No bigger than a small 27″ will fit on the cabinet she has. I Called Radio Shack but the options there are out of her price range, and realistically she wouldnt really care about an HD tv, simpler the better. She is a little slow getting around so if it has a remote that would be ideal for her. I will pick it up anywhere on SJI. Doesn’t have to be pretty just functional. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you much!”
