  PR Opportunity for Kiwanis Clubs

 

Our Division (Division 2) I scheduled to answer phones for the KUED Public Broadcasting station on Sunday March 7, 2010 from 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm. 

 

They will feed us dinner, train us, and best of all we get exposure.  A bar running across the bottom of the screen will say Telephones answered by Kiwanis clubs of ….  We will also get shots of us answering the phones. 

 

We will be listed at the end of the program.  We may also get a challenge grant to talk about Kiwanis. 

 

What we need is 25 volunteers (members or friends of Kiwanis) willing to answer phones. 

 

Let’s take advantage of this opportunity.  Please let the club leadership know in the next few days if you can commit to help.
