Johanna has requested fundraising shows from locally syndicated programs.
Matt Alvey has agreed to answer phones at the studio during ‘Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child.’
Each liaison is encouraged to reach out to their collective members to promote the fund drive.
Charles Marchand, Johanna Halbeisen and Bob Gardner are good contacts for questions regarding the drive.
Currently the goal is to raise $6,000.
When taking pledges over the phone, programmers need to be aware to fill out ALL information on pledge sheets.

Jacqueline Maidana will begin periodically checking the studio log. She will note any absences or irregularities with programmers and report them to the respective liaison.
Any current VFR member interested in taking on this responsibility is encouraged to volunteer.
