The Chillicothe, OH ONE group is going strong. At this past weekend’s Earth Gathering they gained much support in their small community. All the new members were excited to get started so Chris Cooper, the ONE volunteer lead, arranged for an “Idol Gives Back” party at a local restaurant. About 30 ONE members came to enjoy watching ONE on TV. They didn’t just relax and watch the show. They stepped into action and got the support of 4 servers at the restaurant as well as customers curious to see why a whole group of people dressed alike decided to come and watch American Idol.
So, my advice to ONE groups around the nation is to take some time to enjoy being a part of this great movement. Get together and celebrate your local triumphs and enjoy your new friends. Keep up the great work and welcome to the new Idol ONE members.
