Phone Bank at CBS47 and FOX30 Television Real$ense partner CBS47 and FOX30 Television provided Real$ense with air time for a phone bank on Wednesday, April 16, where IRS volunteers answered questions about the Economic Stimulus Payments and told callers about the free tax preparation taking place on Thursday, April 24 for Seniors, Veterans, and those on disability. “It was one of our busiest phone banks ever,” said Kaye Schmitz, Executive Director of Real$ense. “We took 293 calls in an hour and a half and all six phones were ringing off the hook when the lights were turned off at 6:45 p.m.” Evening News Anchor, Paige Kelton, told the group of volunteers, “We always love having you guys here. You provide the community with such a great resource, all we have to do is tell people about it!” Volunteers at the phone bank included Erica Shaffor (Three Rivers Legal Services), and IRS volunteers Mark Browne and Priscilla Phillips, Co-Liaisons to Real$ense, Lynette Wahlstrom, Florely Peterson, and Pam Longino.
