Thursday Night

Thursday Night, April 20, 2023

Notes:

1) LA festival of Books will occur this weekend, 22 and 23 of April, at USC, and kpfk will be at booth number 887. I will be there on Sunday from 10am-2pm and will be happy to see you there.

2) Fundraising: Dear Something's happening (SH) listeners, Kpfk is in the middle of its third week of spring fund drive. Let me share with you the stats so far: the cumulative amount up to now is $65K, and during Something's Happening hours, $2100 has been raised. You might be skeptical of the situation at the station and its building, which is for sale, and needs a lot of repairs and retrofits. Let me share with you that I am NOT married to a building; I care about the signal, which is intact and will not be affected by whether the building is sold or not. Let’s make sure we will have a kpfk on the air. You know kpfk very well—it’s been on the air for over 63 years. I want to encourage you to make a generous contribution to the station and become a monthly sustainer. Something’s Happening show has been on the air for 45 years with Roy Tuckman! So, I want to plea with you to make a generous contribution during SH program, 12 midnight to 6 am, by calling 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org, click on DONATE button, and follow a few easy steps to make your generous contribution. Can one of you donate a $1000, can another one you donate $500, how about $250, and of course your generous $50 is most welcomed. kpfk is here for you and because of you. Please call 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org, click on DONATE button, and make your generous contribution. I have not compromised content for the sake of fundraising and pitching. I need your financial support during these hours.

Also, I am still looking for one person to make a generous $250K contribution; it can be monthly payments, to help the station and foundation out. So, please call 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org. I will welcome your $100K as well as $50 contribution; however, I am looking for one person, you, who has lifelong benefited from the programming, to make a generous $250K contribution. Please call 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org.
