Volunteer for Dick Durbin

On Friday, May 4th, there will be a gala dinner downtown to fête (and raise money for) Illinois' senior senator, Dick Durbin. All the big shots will be there, including Senate leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. And guess what? you can be there too!

Kate Hermann with the Durbin campaign is recruiting volunteers to help out at the event, hob nob, get free food, and I believe receive a free T shirt. Plus you get to spend a glamorous evening at a swank downtown hotel ballroom without actually being swank yourself. (N.b. You do have to dress up a little: for gentlemen, jacket and tie--for ladies, whatever the chick equivalent of jacket and tie is.)

The other catch is that you need to spend one evening next week (either Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday) doing a phone bank in Near North. There will be pizza provided at the phone bank. So please, post a comment or email Kate Hermann at katherine.hermann@gmail.com as soon as you can if you want to take advantage of this exciting opportunity.
