Event Description:

Join us on a Wednesday night... it will be late for a school night, but time flies when you're taking pledges!

WTTW Channel 11, Chicago's premier public tv station, will be pre-recording pledge drive breaks for their August 2006 special with world-famous jazz trumpeter, Chris Botti!

Volunteers will be taking pledge calls from donors to support WTTW11 as the June pledge drive will be running then too; though this special will be aired in August so you can watch yourself in the comfort of your own home. Since we have a large group, One Brick will receive three on-air mentions when the pledge drive broadcasts in August!

Please note that prompt arrival is important as orientation only occurs at the beginning of the shift. Please also only sign up if you can commit to the full shift.
