Title: Volunteer Week Commercial
Post by: Cameron Yelland on May 11, 2008, 09:25:57 PM: Gday,

Anyone else seem the volunteer week commercial with the acrobats? The pagers going off in tone 7, although a great tool to grab attention, isnt that nice for actual firefighters. Had a couple of us looking at our pagers anyway.

Certificates & medals given out.

The commercial was shown after the speeches, but I have not seen it on TV yet. I think other items will be on radio & newspapers.

What are others doing for Volunteer Week ?

No we saw it Sunday night about 9pm on Ch10. Wasn't paying much attention to the ads so when the tone 7 went off it took the heart rate up alittle and sent us scrambling for pagers. Got a touch confused when the pager stopped after 3 sets when I muted the tv :-D

The advert was not part of the Volunteering SA three page spread, but closer to the front of the paper. Is the advert in the other Messenger newspapers ?

Post by: Katrina on May 16, 2008, 07:58:56 AM: Your right Alan, that's all I do with my spare time is sit around and watch tv. :-D It's actually annoying when someone else has the tv on and I'm somewhere else in the house because it sounds like my pager is going off in the other room
