[Rfu-station] WRFU challenge update

[Andrew Ó Baoill]

Nine members and supporters of WRFU have so far made donations,  
including matches, totalling $405. This is a great statement of  
support for our station, as well as making an important dent in the  
remaining portion of our Tower Fund campaign.

I'm hoping we can make an even deeper dent. Donations can be made  
online at wrfu.net/donate or by leaving your donation (cash/check) in  
an envelope in the Drop Box in the IMC main space. If you email me  
details of your pledge or donation I'll be able to update our totals  
as we go. Remember that donations of $50 or more trigger matching  
donations of $15!

The WRFU Tower campaign has so far raised over $15,000 in donations,  
with a total goal of $20,000. This money will fund the purchase and  
erecting of a permanent 100-foot tower for the station, improving our  
broadcast range and ensuring we can continue to provide services to  
our community into the future.

Remember we have our next fundraising event this Saturday at Mike 'n'  
Molly's. Over a dozen local groups will provide over 7 hours of music  
and poetry. Only $4 to get in, and experience some great  
entertainment. I look forward to seeing you all there!

The artists playing on Saturday are investing their time and energy in  
WRFU because they recognize the value of a local station that places  
such an emphasis on local music and local programming. You can show  
your support by turning out on Saturday, and by pledging an additional  
donation now:

Email me (andrew at funferal.org) with details of your pledge.

There's still another $285 in matching donations on the table. Each  
donation of $50 ensures that WRFU will collect more of that money. Can  
you help the station secure these matching funds? Email me with your  
pledge.

See you all on Saturday!
