2. kcspa development staff are in need of some enthusiastic
students to play the part of the crowd/groupies for the Corporate Night red carpet. in an ideal world they would probably want a group of anywhere from 25 - 40 folks. not only would you get to enjoy the spectacle, but you'd also get to enjoy the awesome catering. sound like something for you? e-mail deborah miller at
miller9@uiuc.edu.

3. and now a message from maureen reagan, regarding a PAID opportunity:

i am looking for one or two students to deliver our first posters of the season to businesses. i'd also like one or two students, preferably the same people, to update and augment our poster distribution locations. this involves checking with our existing list to make sure they are still accepting posters and also visiting many local businesses, organizations, etc. to ask if they will display posters; information about the location then needs to be documented for our list. these are paid projects.

the students must be outgoing, good representatives of the center, confident finding and visiting many locations throughout town, already on krannert center hourly payroll, and must have access to a car. the first distribution will take several hours and must be started this week, and the update project will probably take between twenty and eighty hours. (i know that's a wide range :-) contact me directly by e-mail (
reagan@uiuc.edu) if you're interested!

4. we are still in need of some help covering tours for this week. we need people for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. let us know as soon as possible if you can help ( kcsa-tours@kcpa.uiuc.edu) ALSO! if you are interested in having one (or more) day a week set as 'your day' to give tours, please let us know BY FRIDAY (the 5th). we currently need people for Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday...and remember...tours = tickets. that simple.
