ATHENS, Ohio -- Viewers throughout southeastern Ohio are being challenged to make a difference that helps thousands of people. How? By joining Ohio University Public Television, WOUB/WOUC-TV, for its March Marathon Membership Campaign. WOUB/WOUC-TV invites community groups and individual members to get involved in this event, which will last from March 1 through 17.

Community members are encouraged to come to the studios and participate by volunteering to answer phones and assist with general on-air pledge activities.

This March, viewers will see spectacular performances like the "All*Star Bluegrass Celebration," "R&B 40," "'70s Soul Jam," "Lawrence Welk: Milestones and Memories" and more. Volunteers will be needed for weekday evenings and weekends. Volunteer as a group, with friends or as individuals. For volunteer opportunities, please contact Sharon Peek Lewis at (740) 593-4962.
