[Rfu-station] Re: WRFU challenge update

[Andrew Ó Baoill]

Wow! What a difference a night makes. Yesterday afternoon we had 9  
donors, and a total of $405. This morning I can report that we have 12  
donors and $600. Donations range from $10 to $90.

Can we get another 4 donors *and* pass the $800 mark today?

Email me details of your pledge (andrew at funferal.org). Pay online  
(wrfu.net/donate) or leave your check or cash into the Drop Box in the  
IMC (or mail it to WRFU, Suite 112, 202 S Broadway, Urbana IL 61801).

And remember Saturday....
