I live in and don't know what's going on in the camps young adult child.
[5:50] Oh okay so what's loses give away jenny your this your first year as the director of charity ventured even so,
tell us your story what happened did you not run fast enough to do trip did someone push feel
and I always was pushing as a director Kevin to June more charity
events or trying to do anything that would help raise money for the charity out of the charity I just felt like it was something that we should always be doing
and you know anything about Kevin we know that he loves to be told to do things,
go tell him how to do his job
yesterday i was in the little yellow i guess you will always me like you let's do this can we can we do it niggas or niggas kevin's response was sure you can do that,
and I would do do things that were outside of the box and he heard that the charity was looking for somebody to be a director and I put my name in so pretty,
i'm sevens and is out sometimes giving us but i think secretly he just want to torture you yet that is quite possible browning.
[7:16] Yeah I only did you guys but are you the one that were able to figure out how to get him to take a pie in the face.
[7:24] I'm sure i could put that was not me previously i can and skin that he said yes to being duct taped to a wall oh yeah um that was wondering when trying to do but we could find a wall to do it to.
[7:39] And we couldn't figure out the engineering but we had this idea of putting him on a chair and then like getting donations for like sections of duct tape.
And then dive deep into the wall listing and chair and then remove it.
That was the pronouncing it and many other state is division is.
When your is beer he did his.
[8:04] Beard okay that was yeah but I just loved it image of Kevin being stuck to a wall with duct tape since that just.
And and knowing his his volunteers as you as you do obviously they would probably just leave them there.
Yeah we were at we were joking about the idea of putting in an elevator.
[8:26] So you are on monday so he have to go up and down the elevator few times the the button to close because into can't be like in atlanta so who is the official thirty this year,
the official charity this year is that literacy action there are based here in Atlanta they've been here for 50 years this is their 50th anniversary,
I need help educate the undereducated adults teaching them how to read helping them with their GED helping them with computer skills job skills helpful
thanks so that they can lead a better life and also give a better life for their children
well is it something that i'm sure a lot of dragon con goers feels strongly about is reading as.
[9:16] We all love her books you can tell by how many literature literature tracks we have one point we were talking about that they were going to be accepting
but that is no longer the case correct well
what would happen is if we started at the beginning of the year accepting books during like volunteer meetings or some of our superhero things which is something where we get together and we do,
like Community hours and help people in different ways and we got so many books that we.
What we can a drug drum journey and books so we can have to kinda back away from my hands on what books to bring java.
[10:01] Okay i'll get off on another there are lots of places that yeah we we got so many books that if a just ate overwhelms i'm so were kinda being quiet but if somebody
does bring me a book I'll make sure it goes someplace good but,
we just went we went we went nuts with the the collecting ss of who will also say if you bring extract book.
We basically will put them now don't don't in today because I actually just put them out and let people come and see if they want one like you have you ever read this other whatever,
and that's how I got rid of a lot of sci-fi books last year and the year before and also as we heard from sue her adult lit will take them as well.
Eva landing library lending library
okay google yeah single now know that the charity of their see action is actually fairly small to write
well they actually have quite a few different locations I have to pull up the thing but they have a lot of different locations all around Atlanta so and that was one of the things that we were doing is we were helping them fill one of their libraries
add me filled it to the tippy tippy top so yeah.
[11:25] I mean but but the if we can get to the hundred thousand which i'm sure we can which will then be matched by the the drink on proper,
have you to a thousand
the national first hundred thousand that we raise and i want to say it that way so that it it you know it makes a really realize we can go pass that number and you know.
[11:47] What what will find good ways to use it,
and in like likely lisa before that this that that an organization that's wrote i mean it relatively small has been since it's not you know it's are red cross are something like that it's it
it'll make a huge difference to yeah yeah it will help them all immensely and.
[12:12] Now speaking of giving you were talking before we started here about a new way to also give
yeah cuz we've always had the change buckets which different tracks will have in their track room it's way to get rid of some change or put a little bit towards the charity.
But now we have a texting feature where you can text
a certain phone number and with that phone number if you text the phrase do you seal of biliteracy no spaces

I said this the other day and I'm going to say it again I can't imagine not being able to read my son.
[25:59] With little you now i can i can i get a great deal of joy from reading i just re read the gunslinger series because it's one of my favorites and.
The things you know that did you pass down my son enjoys reading he's re reading harry potter right now he's on he's read the gunslinger re starting on number two it's slow slot for my tell me get the little faster after the winners.
[26:25] More dense than others but yeah so younger I made myself submission of reading all the Stephen King
oh boy so he's working on that they i i will have to say that the gunslinger is the one that kind and it.
I got to that one and it was I just wasn't able to sink into it and it is a very different one too so yeah,
it feels like for me i swore i was gonna read every one of the towers books before the movies that last one and it.
I was reading in the car on the way.
Cuz I was like damn it I hate these books while you were driving.
[27:25] He looks like right well i did that with the lord of the rings and get back in bed and get i'm gonna get through this i shall be home any ways of the explain but snow looks like yeah.
Yeah but I mean it's something that we all feel very strongly about I think the world and.
[27:51] What what were raising money for this year is just make sure that others get the chance to.
[27:58] To have that same pleasure that we we have.
Alright and it's it's one of the great things about DragonCon is that the community and doing
doing these things for terry they don't have to do this so well it's sunny and they have to do but they do it and and yeah on top of that
and you have to do the matching but yet they do so they,
they definitely feel very strongly about the giving back to the community that has helped build them and that's one reason why we always pick something that's very of local I mean we've done the Atlanta Community Food Bank Dunn Atlanta sufficient
center for self sufficiency we did Special Olympics for Georgia so we are always looking for stuff that is
but.
[28:50] Well before we let you go but if you are in the Atlanta area and.
Throughout the year you're trying to find some charitable thing,
go and sign up to be a Dragon Con superhero
well I mean we've been doing the superheroes and believe for 5 years and.
I have put in over two thousand seven hundred hours of hands on the,
that's crazy.
Yeah so we've helps different organizations like the Georgia Conservancy.
At park conservancy alaina community food bank for all the kids and you have us special olympics georgia the lupus foundation which we've done quite a few times there are.
There was a loop is locked the annual is what do you go away but it was fun
and it was done the food bank we we actually got to go in and be a part of literacy actions that graduation ceremony and their family party Day this year.
[30:03] And it was great we had costume superheroes and I just we had everything from Superman to the Fairy Godmother there to help entertain the kids
and everything has owes a lot of fun as being part of the super heroes is really great way to give back throughout the year.
[30:24] Is that is cool again you know and only a dragon con really and i know there's other cons out there what not but they don't they don't do nearly the same work for the community that the tracking condos
so i'm excited to be a part of that it makes me feel really good yeah,
oh you know get in touch in your favor track ability what you doing what can i do to,
buttons and just give me cash,
i also have a donation both do you can come up with like art work that maybe doesn't fit your decor anymore like it was passing someone and you can pass along can auction it off during one of the options.
