Hi everyone!
CKLN 88.1fm, Toronto's oldest listener-supported, campus-community radio
station, has kicked off its annual on-air funding drive. fundFEST is
hugely important to the station as money raised during the ten days of
the drive accounts for over 40% of CKLN's operating budget. In short, we
can't do what we do without it. Or you.
fundFEST airs Friday October 26 to Sunday November 4 so if you're a
listener who is appreciative of CKLN's commitment to progressive,
non-commercial music, arts and news programming, please remember to tune
in to favourite shows and donate what you can in support.
Mental Chatterís fundFEST show is this Monday October 29, from 11am -
2pm. I hope to raise at least $4000. towards CKLN's overall goal of
$125,000., no small amount, but we more than did that last year thanks
to the many, many devoted and supportive listeners out there. You all
DEFINITELY do come through!
Please spread the word to other listeners you know and tune in for three
solid hours of great music, wicked vibes, wonderful guests and, of
course, a whole slew of prizes that await your pledges :-) I've been
gathering a wack of great CD's, LP's, 12"es, T-shirts, and other
rarities (including 3 super-rare Mo' Wax posters by Futura 2000) plus,
of course, there will be the CKLN T's, hoodies, toques, record bags and
more.
You can support CKLN via Mental Chatter by:
ï Tuning in Monday Oct. 29 from 11am - 2pm and dialing 416.598.8810 when
you're ready to make a pledge. It can be whatever you can afford, from
$5 to $500. Seriously, it all makes a difference!
ï Making an advance pledge by e-mailing me directly any time before 9am
EST on Monday Oct. 29, a great way to support if you can't tune in for
some reason. This also holds true for all you out-of-town fans of the
Mental Chatter archives on beats.to :-) Support the orginal source:
CKLN.
ï If you can't afford to pledge $$, consider being a phone volunteer
during any of your favourite shows and take pledges from other listeners
out there. Contact CKLN at 416.595.1477 if you'd like to help out this
way; it's also really important!
Thanks to all of you (listeners, labels, artists, everyone....!) who've
supported in the past or intend to in any way this year. Times are tough
out there economically, emotionally and certainly politically, but it's
particularly at times like these that we NEED to keep alternative
sources of information and culture flowing. 'nuff said. Take good care.
Peace out.
