Campaign for the Future
KDB Makes Hundreds of New Friends
 | |
KDB staff from left to right: Richard BIckle, Karen Pelland, Roby Scott, Steve Murphy, Tim Owens, Catherine Remak, and Ellen Pasternack. |
From May 3 to May 10, KDB held our first-ever on-air fund drive, "Campaign for the Future." The entire staff pitched in to help produce the drive, which was on the airwaves live from 7 am to 7 pm.
Highlights included a visit from violinist Anne Akiko Meyers, who talked about her new album, Air, and offered signed copies to donors during that hour...our most popular gift from the entire drive!
Karen Pelland, KDB's Features Producer, appeared on Saturday, May 5, and introduced her recorded interview with guest Santa Barbara Symphony conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto and his discussion of Mexico's unofficial anthem, "Huapango," a great way to highlight Cinco de Mayo. Look for all of Karen's interviews on our website's Interviews/Features link.
"Campaign for the Future" was very successful, bringing in hundreds of donations, two-thirds of them first-time donors! 40% of the station's revenue needs to come from individuals like you, so a big thank you to all of our new and established friends for your support! And If you haven't donated yet this year, here's the link to our online donation page. |

Most surprising of all was the unexpected professional dancing debut of KDB's penguin mascot, Giuseppe Birdi, who so enchanted dancer Ryan Camou that he included him in the performance of Rum and Coke!
