|
Welcome to all the new subscribers from the Winter Drive. And welcome long-time subscribers to our more polished look! You're all part of a group of listeners who are 'in the know' when it comes to happenings here at WBJC.
With the influx of new subscribers, we've upgraded our newsletter service and are working towards upgrading our membership database with email capabilities. What this means: We will save money and your recycling bin by sending more of our correspondence electronically... Tax receipts, Day Sponsorship forms, thank you letters, and general communications. Money saved on operating expenses means more money for programming!
Please take a moment to update your newsletter preferences by clicking the link at the very bottom of this email. You can sign up for the volunteer list, elect to only receive newsletters or stay on the general list (where you'll get contest and tour info first, as well as special event invitations and the infrequent survey).
In each mid-month newsletter, we will bring you a variety of things... articles written by the staff, contest notifications, special programming alerts (like the holiday schedule), pictures of mystery radios, and the odd discount to some of our business sponsors.
We hope you enjoy!
