 WE MADE IT!
Our Spring Member Drive went over its goal of $120,000 on May 8, 2008. We appreciate everyone who made a pledge during this drive, and of course appreciate the support of all of our listeners as you've helped us count up to the goal.
WMUB depends on listeners for the support that makes possible the programs you love. We must meet our goals for our twice-yearly drives, but we're also determined to limit the number of days of active on-air fundraising. So as we promised we would, we went back to regular programming on schedule in April, knowing that the last $10,000 would be the hardest to raise.
Missed the drive but still want to make a pledge? Of course you can, right here.
Thank you for your support!
