WUKY Seeks Volunteers for End of Year Pledge Drive

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 21, 2011) — WUKY 91.3, the University of Kentucky's NPR station, will connect with listeners across Central Kentucky for its End of Year Pledge Drive Monday, Nov. 28-Friday, Dec. 2.  The radio station is seeking volunteers to help make the pledge drive successful.

"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.  "If your organization/group is able to provide multiple volunteers for a day or multiple shifts, WUKY will designate that specific day/shift to your group.  We will announce on air that our phones are being answered by volunteers from 'ABC group or organization' during the designated times for your volunteers." 

Computers are 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.     

"We are listener supported, with a loyal audience, but we need the help of volunteers to collect their pledges and make it all work," Hansel said.

Available shifts are listed below and volunteers can feel free to choose any hours within the shifts. 

Monday, Nov. 28              6:30 a.m.–9 p.m.

Wednesday, Nov. 30        6:30 a.m.–9 p.m.   

Thursday, Dec. 1              6:30 a.m.–9 p.m.
