[Irish Aires All] - Irish Aires Faill Fund Raiser

-------------------------------------------------------- --
Irish Aires on KPFT-FM, 90.1FM Saturday Nights 6:30PM

Now on the internet.  You are on  the Irish Aires Email ALL list
-------------------------------------------------------- --

(Poster's Note: For the next two Saturday nights (Nov 6th & 13th), we
will be on the air from 7PM to 8PM, rather than our usual 6:30-7:30
timeslot.)

Irish Aires is a radio show on a community, non- commercial radio
station (KPFT 90.1FM in Houston & 89.5FM in Galveston).

Our station is live on the Internet at:
http://kpftweb.mcleodusa.net/kpft.smi

Or hear Irish Aires archived shows at:
http://www.kpftx.org/archives/kpftsignal/index.php

The radio station does not accept any money from advertisers or
corporate sponsors.  We receive less than 20% of our annual budget
from grants.  The vast majority of their funding comes from small,
individual contributions.

Our listeners/members/contributors represent a wide variety of
views.  Our programs do the same.

As you know, Irish Aires is on the air one hour per week (6:30-
7:30PM on Saturdays).  During that time, we play Irish/Celtic
music, present news from Ireland, cover events in the local area
and give a forum for Irish & Irish Americans to present their
views.

In addition to our hour on the air, we produce at least twice daily
news updates about Ireland.  We send emails to keep our local
community updated on current events in the regional area.

Pete & I are volunteers (as are most of the presenters on KPFT).

However, the station still needs financial support.  We are on the
air 8,760 hours per year (24 hours-a-day / 365 days a year).  Our
out-of-pocket expenses are about $125 per hour on the air.  That
comes to $1,095,000 per year.

We need your support to pay for these expenses.  Our chance to
raise funds on November 6th & 13th.

If you can, please call the station or return this email to me to
contribute money to KPFT in the name of Irish Aires.  We want to
show the station that the Irish communities in Houston and on the
web value our show.

Your contribution need not be large.  Give what you can afford.
Numbers of supporters show the station that we have popular
support.  Our money goal will be made if we get 30 people to call
up or email us their pledge their support for KPFT.

We have some thank you gifts for contributions.  If you can
contribute at the $60 level you will get one of the following CDs.
If you can contribute at the $90 level, you will get two of the
following.  (Availability of individual CDs is limited, so it is
first come, first serve).
