Hurricane Help Has Brizzi Answering Office Phone
INDIANAPOLIS—If you call the Marion County Prosecutor's Office main phone number, 327-3522, Friday morning, a very familiar voice will answer. Prosecutor Carl Brizzi will be manning the first-floor reception desk from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon that day, as the "grand prize" in an office raffle to help the victims of the recent hurricanes.
Brizzi pledged to spend a half-day doing the job of the employee who won the raffle. The office sold $1,000 in tickets at $1.00 each, with all of the money going to the American Red Cross. The winner was drawn at a staff meeting on Monday, October 3. That ticket belonged to Marsha Bruning, the first-floor receptionist.
Brizzi will spend Friday morning answering the phone, transferring calls, greeting people who come to the office at 251 East Ohio, and sorting and distributing the mail. He's happy to do it. "We were looking for a unique way to raise money for the victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita," he explained, "and have some fun at the same time."
Brizzi isn't the only member of the office executive staff who will be working elsewhere in the office, thanks to the raffle. Lisa Borges, chief of staff, will be a paralegal; David Wyser, deputy chief of staff/chief of the trial division, will be a deputy prosecutor in Juvenile Court; John Owens, supervisor of child support, will be a receptionist on another floor and Scott Cooke, deputy supervisor of child support, will argue cases in one of the misdemeanor courts.
