Irish Aires needs your help!! We did a little better
than our goal last week, but we need to keep up
the pace. The third week is tough!
KPFT will finish our fall Fund Raiser over the next two weeks
(10/12 – 10/19/13).
You can contribute to Irish Aires by calling 713-526-5738
during our show on Oct 12th or Oct 19th between
6:00-7:00PM OR you can complete the below form and
return to me via email (rdooling@swbell.net).
Also, you can go to http://kpft.org/ and securely donate to KPFT
and Irish Aires on your credit card OR Paypal. Just be sure to list
IRISH AIRES as your designee for the contribution.
Irish Aires & KPFT need your support. We need to pull our weight
in raising funds to keep the station on the air. We have, over the long
run, been able to do this because of your generosity.
PLEASE help us continue!
We don't need anyone to give a LOT , we need a LOT of people to give.
Renew your pledge to KPFT & Irish Aires by donating what you can.
A little background for those of you new to our list:
Irish Aires is the name of radio show broadcast on KPFT-FM
(90.1FM in Houston Texas ) and on the internet (both live
and in archived versions). We are on every Saturday night
from 6-7PM (US Central Time – Midnight Sat Nights in
Ireland). We play a wide variety of Irish/Celtic music and
provide information on local ( Houston ) Celtic happenings.
However, we also provide internet resources for the
Irish/Celtic community. These include a very active FaceBook
page, email lists, blogs & web pages that include info on Irish
& Irish American interest (news, cultural happenings & local
Houston area events).

While the producers (Pete, Bill, Emily & Jay) are all
unpaid volunteers, the non-profit KPFT-FM station has
substantial out-of-pocket expenses in order to stay on the
air 365 days a year/ 24 hours a day. Electricity, staff
salaries, license fees and maintenance are only a few of
them.
For three weeks every fall, we change the format of our
show (and send out emails like this) in order to remind you
that KPFT, the Irish Aires radio show & our internet
services (FaceBook, email, blogs & web pages) are
sponsored by YOU.
IF you have joined our membership in the past, please
consider rejoining during this drive; if you haven't joined
yet, this is the time, join the Irish Aires / KPFT family.
KPFT is a non-commercial, community supported radio show.
They accept no corporate or commercial sponsorship. They
receive a modest amount of support from the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting & grants, but 90% of their budget is
provided by individual contributions (which average about
$60 each).
Because of the need for your continued support, we need to
ask you for your support.
In addition to our broadcast which feature Irish/Celtic
music, we regularly include listing of local Celtic events.
We also hosts special guests to discuss issue of interest
to the Irish & Irish/American community.
As we have said before, we don't need people to give a lot;
we need A LOT OF PEOPLE to give. Your individual support
at any level will help the station stay on the air and
Irish Aires to continue into its 28th Year.
Basic membership costs are $25 for students & people on a
fixed or lower income; regular membership goes for $40 per
year (voting rights accrue at the $25 level).
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).
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 our CDs
If you can contribute at the $90 level, you will get two of two
of our CDs.
At whatever level you can support us, please do.
Jay, Pete, Bill & Emily
