Participate in campus-wide Invisible Children Events - Promotion for Benefits Concert
(Passing out information outside dining halls) |
1 hour of tabling
=
15 pts |
E-mail InvisibleChildrenMiami@gmail.com to sign up for a shift for promoting the Benefits Concert outside a dining hall (first come, first serve)
|
One person passing out information for one hour will get 15 points . Up to three people can sign up for the same time slot at the same dining hall. Sign-ups will be first come first serve.
We were hoping to pass out information Tuesday, March 17 through Saturday, March 21 @ noon - 2 pm and 5-7 pm each day. The dining halls we would like to hit are Harris, Martin, Erickson, Alexander and Bell Tower. If there's another dining hall you'd really like to do, let us know.
You will receive the pocket cards from us. BUT here's another incentive to participate with this initiative: The pocket cards have a spot where you could put your team's name. So as you're talking to people and are convincing them to come to our concert, you can also encourage them to sign in as supporting your team - then you'll get another point the day of the event. |
