WUKY Needs Volunteers for Pledge Drive

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 23, 2012) ― Lexington’s NPR Station, WUKY, will connect with listeners across Central Kentucky for its 2012 Spring Pledge Drive, Tuesday, Feb. 28-Wednesday, March 7.  The station is asking for volunteers during that time. 

"We need groups, organizations, and individuals who are willing to volunteer to help answer calls and take pledges from our listeners, said Robert Hansel, membership manager at WUKY.  "Computers are now available for all volunteers to take pledges, entering them in automatically, while making the transaction seamless and much more cost effective for the donor and station."     

For organizations able to provide multiple volunteers for a day or multiple shifts, WUKY will announce on air that the phones are being answered by volunteers from that group.  The organization will also receive 10 free public service announcements.

Shifts available include: 

Tuesday, Feb. 28                 6:30 a.m. – 9 p.m.

Wednesday, Feb. 29           6::30am – 9 p.m.      

Saturday, March 3               8 a.m. – 9 p.m.

Sunday, March 4                 10 a.m. – 10 p.m.

Monday, March 5                 6:30 a.m. – 9 p.m.
