How great was last week? A little taste of spring and a sold out Sonos concert makes
you think summer isn't just an illusion.
Thanks to all of you who came out for the Sonos concert and 88Nine
fundraiser. It was a great show in
a great venue with great people!
We especially want to thank Blu Lounge at the Pfister for providing us
with a fabulous place to relax the night away.
Next week we'll be hitting the airwaves with a specific goal
in mind-raising money. We are,
after all, a listener supported station and so we can't continue with out the
support of our listeners. The fund
drive will have lots of little surprises along the way so don't miss out. Donate and you will be rewarded
handsomely. Starting Monday, March 22nd, be one of the first 150 people to
donate $75 or more and you'll receive a limited edition 88Nine t-shirt designed
by Milwaukee's own Scott Starr of Fever Marlene.
I told you there would be rewards, and here's one more. When you are one of the first 100 people to donate $35 you'll receive a pair of Brewers tickets! Call as early as 6am on Monday to make sure you don't miss out
Until next time, keep listening.
