KPFT Notes

From Volunteer Coordinator Eddie Garcia:

The KPFT Fall Pledge Drive started this weekend and is running everyday until Saturday, Nov. 14.

We’re already having an awesome time talking with our listeners, volunteers, programmers and staff. If you haven’t had the chance to volunteer during a pledge drive, it’s a great time to get to know the KPFT family better.

The pledges are coming in like crazy and we’re still short on Phone Volunteers during weekdays and evenings.

We need your help and we’re asking YOU to sign up. Join us and enjoy the great conversations, many laughs and delicious food!

The schedule for phone volunteering is flexible: including mornings, evenings and weekends. We can use your help especially between 8:30 am – 12 noon or 5:30 pm – 8 pm on weekdays.

We also have volunteer openings anytime between 6:30 am and 11 pm any day of the drive, including weekends. Call or contact us to find out what times are still available.

Sign up now to ensure that every call that comes in with a donation to KPFT will be answered by a friendly voice. Be sure to contact Eddie at volunteer@kpft.org or 713-526-4000, ext 316 so that we can coordinate full coverage throughout the drive.

Get the word out to your friends and contacts that we will have another special Training for new Phone Volunteers this Wednesday, Oct. 28 from 6 pm to 6:45 pm here at the station, 419 Lovett Blvd.
