KERA

KERA IS NOW SIGNING UP VOLUNTEERS TO TAKE PLEDGES FOR CLAY'S CONCERT FOR DALLAS:

The shift to help answer phones is 6pm to around 11pm (don’t have the final schedule yet.) I sign people up "first come, first served..."

We have dinner first then do a quick training (it’s easy – the pledge form is basically a "script"..)

We’ll go "live" some time just after 7....there’s plenty of breaks, you aren’t sitting tied to a phone the whole time......

Let me know if you have any questions!

THANK YOU!!!!
