Pledge Drive Show #2 (Oct. 25)

This Pledge Drive included two Sundays, because the weekend programming is very popular. Fine by me, I love doing Pledge Drive shows! Yesterday’s was extremely successful, in fact very nearly the best we’ve ever done. Remarkable, in the current financial environment. Overall the 8-day drive pulled in a record total of $131,215 – far above any previous total! Our listeners are all kinds of awesome!
