WERU Community Radio

Listener support is a huge part (half of our revenue for the year) of what makes WERU possible, as are local Business Supporters/Underwriters (a quarter of our revenue).  Volunteer power is a giant part of the picture as well.  Thank you to everyone who made this Spring Pledge Drive a great success, either by contributing dollars or volunteer time!   

Our goals for the week were $13,000 and 100 New Members.  The totals as of  Saturday, May 19th at 10:00 a.m. (the end of the drive) were $17,400 contributed and 85 New Members!  Thank you all so very much!
