Can You Share Two Minutes of Your Time?

I wanted to take a moment to update you on the latest news from the KWSB Alumni Advisory Board (KAAB).

The six KAAB directors (meet us by visiting http://www.kwsbalumni.org/Board.html) are in the process of reaching out and establishing contact with every student volunteer at KWSB. Our goal is to educate them on the mission of KAAB and to encourage them to reach out for assistance when necessary.

Look for a coordinated and sustained KAAB promotional campaign to be launched at the end of next month. The first phase of the campaign will be driven by social networking tools. The next phase will involve e-mail and WSC publications. The purpose of those campaigns is to get alumni involved with our effort.

If you have not done so already, we encourage you to formally join our effort. We have streamlined the ways in which you can help. Please visit http://www.kwsbalumni.org/GetInvolved.html for more information.

It will take you a minute or so to read that page. It will take you another minute to write and send the e-mail with the information about how you can help.

Two minutes (okay, perhaps three or four if you type slowly) is all it takes!! It’s painless! And hey, it’s free! I promise!

Please take time today or this weekend to tell us how you can help. It will save us a ton of time down the line and allow us all focus more on the centerpiece of this effort – helping KWSB students.

Speaking of the students, there are approximately 25 of them volunteering at KWSB this semester. That number reflects a pretty significant increase compared to this time last year.
KWSB recently launched a new website. You can check it out at www.kwsb.org. Dr. Terry Schliesman, who is the faculty advisor for KWSB, has been instrumental in launching the new site. He tells us that the current site is by no means a finished product, but changes and improvements are being made as time permits.

If you would like to learn more about today’s KWSB and take a quick video tour of the studio, visit http://www.kwsbalumni.org/TodaysKWSB.html.

Don’t forget – please take two minutes to get involved with KAAB today. Please visit http://www.kwsbalumni.org/GetInvolved.html to learn more.

Warm Regards,
Brian Leifker,
Chairman
