Annual Great TV auction for public television
The Greater Milwaukee APA Chapter for many years have supported our friends at Channel 10 and donated our time in many areas including answering phones during the pledge drive and volunteering at the Great TV Auction.
The Annual Great TV auction for public television is April 26 – May 4, 2013. Volunteering at the Great TV Auction is fun, rewarding and a great way to network, make new friends and give back to the community. The Greater Milwaukee APA will be volunteering on May 1, 6:30 to close.
Training will be provided on site. Breaks with refreshments and snacks are provided. This year’s Auction theme the day we are volunteering is Sports Jerseys, T-shirts or Sweatshirts. The auction is a casual dress environment. Teams are welcome to wear logo identification shirts. Comfortable shoes are recommended, like tennis shoes, flats, etc. As a team we are welcome to join in the celebration in the MPTV One Hula of an Auction! Yes, the Great TV Auction has a following in the community with donors, buyers and Volunteers. Highlights for this year’s auction include the featured artists for 2013: Donna Tronca, George Kovach, Arnold Alaniz and Jeff LaDow. New this year will be the Birdhouse contest. As a team, we are invited to sign up members, employees, spouses and family members over age 14 to answer phones and take bids during the shift you selected. Individuals are always welcome to come again later in the week on their own. If you are interested in volunteering for the Greater Milwaukee APA evening on May 1st please contact Michelle Ganzer at ganzerclan@wi.rr.com by April 4, 2013.
