Dear Something's Happening with Roy Tuckman, KPFK is starting its spring fund drive. I want to encourage you to make a generous contribution to the station and become a monthly sustainer, which is good for all of us. I will not bore you with yak yak yak about this and that of the station and foundation. There is a reason why you listen and have been listening to the station, especially during Something's Happening show. So, I want to plea with you to make a generous contribution during the program by calling 818-985-5735or go to kpfk.org and click on DONATE button and follow a few easy steps to make your generous contribution. I will repeat this message through out the week as we both understand the importance of keeping the station alive and on the air.
Also, I am looking for one person, and I mean you, to make a generous $250K contribution, you can make monthly payments, to help the station and foundation out. I will personally arrange a meeting with the Boss Lady for you to have detailed information conversation with her—this includes a glass of wine or two! So, please call 818-985-5735 or go to kpfk.org.
