Hospitals Contacted; Singing and Dancing for Children is my Passion: #3

     On a Saturday, Lexie and I got together to call the hospitals we wanted the chance to perform at. When we called, we were referred to the Child Life Departments, none of which were open on Saturdays. So this ran into a few problems. We still attempted to call the main lines of every single hospital, and then called the referred numbers. None of the numbers were open and we didn't get to schedule our hospital visits. The hospitals we called were Saint Christopher's Hospital for Children, Chilrden's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Paoli Hospital, Johns Hopkins, and Hershey Medical Center. When we called, we told the other side of the line who we were, our school, and asked them if we would be at all allowed to come sing and dance for the children of their hospitals. A few that had answering machines, we left a message with the same explained and a callback number. We still have to call to schedule our performances. This has taught us that just when we are free doesn't mean it's the quickest, easier way to contact people and we need to think in the real world business weeks where people would actually spend their days sitting in front of a phone.
