The Wayne State University School of Medicine Alumni Association is seeking student and faculty volunteers to participate in this year's Alumni Annual Telefund.

Volunteers can sign up and receive more information from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Scott Hall cafeteria Sept. 11, 14 and 15. You will receive a free School of Medicine gift when you sign up.

The student organization that raises the most money will receive a donation to that organization: first place, $500; second place, $250; third place, $100.

This year's Telefund dates are Oct. 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29, and Nov. 2, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11. Volunteers may stop in to make calls between 5:30 and 9:30 p.m. on those days, and dinner will be served.
