Best year ever

Thanks to everyone who has been calling and writing this week in support of NCPR, and particularly to those who re-upped or became new members during String Fever this afternoon, when through a semi-annual lapse of judgment, they put the over-caffeinated web guy in front of an open microphone. This how we get it done: with a bluegrass band answering the phones, special padded kneelers in the pitch room, and the enthusiastic encouragement of all the folks you don't hear on the radio every day, as well as those you do.
It takes a lot of different skills to float this boat, and your support floats a team that excels in every way, recognized throughout public broadcasting not only for great radio, but for great membership services, a premier underwriting program, innovations in major giving and special projects and new media--in general, for getting a bigger bang for smaller bucks than anyone else in the business. You make this all possible. We're well on the way, but don't stop now. We still have about $80,000 to raise between now and Saturday at 8 pm to make our goal. The real goal--same as ever--to make next year our best year of radio ever.
