Spring Fever On A Winter's Day

January 31, 2016

This is from the Manager's Desk.  

The following is taken from some notes that KGOU General Manager Karen Holp left behind. It appears to be this week's “Manager’s Desk.”

I know it is just the first week of February, but I hope you will not be surprised that the KGOU staff has been discussing the spring fundraising drive.
I know, it is a short eight or nine weeks away when we will make a lot of noise asking for your financial support.

 

And so you might ask yourself – what can I do to avoid that spring fundraising drive? Fair question.

 

You don’t want to miss the news, information and entertainment, so you really can’t just turn off the radio, or stop reading the KGOU web page.

 

This is what you can do. You can make the fund drive shorter. You can do that with a pledge today … a single, one-time payment, or start a sustaining pledge of $5 or $10 per month.

 

Go to KGOU.org and click on the red donate button. You’ll see all the options. Do it now, and shorten the drive that comes every spring, like the grass getting green again, the flowers growing towards the sun, the gentle rains of spring and the sunshine and the flowers....

But then the rest of the staff wised up and dragged her from the studio. She is alive and well, but resting.

From the Manager’s Desk, that was Karen Holp.

Karen earned her Master (1974) and Bachelor (1972) degrees from the University of Akron in Ohio, and has worked as Program Director at WMRA-FM, James Madison University in Harrisonburg Virginia and WUIS-FM, University of Illinois at Springfield. She moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico in 1979 to become General Manager of KRWG-FM.
