KPFT Summer Sizzler (Fund Raiser) This Weekend

Irish Aires Continues To Need Your Help Three or four times a year, Irish Aires (and the other programs on KPFT) have to interrupt their normal programming for a couple weeks in order to ask for your support. KPFT is a community-based, commercial-free radio station that has chosen not to accept corporation underwriting. Therefore, in order to bring you Irish Aires & all the other diverse music & talk show programs that are on the air 24 hours a day/ 365 days per year, we need your financial support. Your contribution, along with others in the community, help KPFT and Irish Aires stay on the air in an ever increasing world of consolidated, homogenized media. Your contribution (at a minimum level) also entitles you to a membership in KPFT. Members have the right to run and vote for the Board of Directors who manages KPFT and the other 4 Pacifica radio stations. In return for your support, Irish Aires provides the following: a) Weekly Irish/Celtic programming live on KPFT (90.1FM in Houston) and live and archived on the web at http://www.kpft.org b) Daily Irish news via our Irish Aires news emails (To receive this news via email, click HERE. No Message is necessary.) or blog (http://irishaires.blogspot.com/ ) c) A listing of local area Irish events via the Irish Aires emails (To receive these postings via email, click HERE No Message is necessary.) or blog (http://irishairescurrentevents.blogspot.com/ ). d) The Irish Aires web page and links found at http://IrishAires.org . We don’t need a lot of money from anyone; but we do need lots of people to contribute what they can. Please consider giving us your financial support. You can contribute to Irish Aires by calling 713-526-5738 during our shows on August 20th or August 27th between 6:00-7:00PM OR you can complete the below form and return to me via email (rdooling@swbell.net ) or via US mail to Irish Aires, KPFT, 419 Lovett, Houston, Texas 77006. Basic membership costs are $25 for students & people on a fixed or lower income; regular membership goes for $35 per year. If you can give more, we have been the beneficiaries of some Irish/Celtic music CDs that we would like to give you in return for a $60 contribution (even if you can only afford to pay it out at $5 per month). See details of available CDs below. But it is more important for you to contribute, no matter what the amount. Wide-spread, small contributions give our station support from the community of people who appreciate our programming and internet information. We have some thank you gifts for contributions. If you can contribute at the $60 level you will get one of the following CDs. If you can contribute at the $90 level, you will get two of the following. (Availability of individual CDs is limited, so it is first come, first serve). CD Title Artist ------------------------------------------------- (List of available CDs to be released soon.
