"Phone Tree Help Needed

NW In Defense of Animals has what I call a phone tree. How it works is I print out the names of our supporters from our database who have phone numbers in the Portland, OR or Vancouver, WA area. Each sheet has 30 names on it and then I mail a copy to IDA volunteers who have offered to help. When an important event comes up, like Fur Free Friday for example, I email out a script to the volunteers and ask them to call the people on their phone tree list and remind them of the upcoming event. It usually involves about 4-5 events a year. It’s also a good way to update our database information in case people’s phone numbers and/or addresses change.

Right now I’m updating our phone tree lists because we have so many new members, which is a good thing, but now I need more people to help with the phone tree. It’s a great way to help NW IDA without having to leave the comfort of your own home and believe me, it’s a huge help! I need at least 35 volunteers and right now I only have 10. If you think you could help with the phone tree please contact me at 503-249-9996 x3 or connie@idausa.org. I won’t bother you very often?.honest. Connie"
