| U of M Club of Michiana |
| Many years ago, we had a club member on the station's board of directors. We did it for several years after. |
| It was free exposure for the club and also provided a fun community service event. |
| I believe it probably started with the club member on the board of directors. |
| No cost. |
| We didn't really have materials. We just needed five to 10 volunteers to show up for a few hours one evening. We brought some standard U-M stuff, including our own club's banner. |
| We were allowed to be a sponsor of "Michigan Replay" on the station, without paying the sponsor dues. We also had six on-camera breaks during the evening where our club was on TV. We did receive some new active members from watching us on that show. |
| Almost two years ago, the station changed its plan. Instead of having community groups come in and answer the phones, they charged the groups for the advertising time. When the cost to us, for helping them, was going to be several hundred dollars, we opted out of continuing this event. |
