Those 90 phone room volunteers: friends, family members, neighbors, spouses, and even some former employees, coming early and staying late because of their devotion to WDAV. Folks from Charlotte Chamber Music, the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, Lorimer Press, Union Youth Symphony, Circle de Luz. 
We couldn”t manage without them.
