SPECIAL EARLY BIRD RENEWAL INCENTIVE!

The WYSU spring membership drive officially starts in April, but there is a great reason for you to give TODAY - EARLY BIRD RENEWAL INCENTIVE!

Thanks to a generous bequest to the station, the first $40,000 we receive in renewals from this e-newsletter will be matched dollar-for dollar! Mail in your renewal today, or click the button below to give.

Local public radio: It is up to us! It has always been so, but it is more so now. That's really all I have to say this time around, other than that all of us here so appreciate you for being a continuing and generous donor of WYSU-FM.

This station is reliant on membership gifts for much of its operating expenses. When you give to WYSU you can rest assured that your donation to the station goes straight into the WYSU-FM membership fund which is used to pay for local and network programs and broadcast-related expenses.

We hope we have given you plenty of reasons to continue your support this year, or to even increase it. Thank you so much for your ongoing support of this valuable community service.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support.

Sincerely,
Gary Sexton, Director
