WBJC is grateful for you!

This is time of year where most take a moment to reflect on what they are grateful for in their lives. I know I'm personally grateful for my family, good friends and the vibrant arts community we have here in the Maryland/DC/Virginia area. Whether your passion is music, visual arts, cultural treasures, or even industrial history (one of my favorite local museums), we are so very fortunate to live in such a culturally enriched area! And it's this way because of people like you and me, who
value the arts
.
There are times (like the holiday season) where those of us here at the station look around at all the worthy charity causes and feel a bit embarrassed to ask for your financial support. Be ask we must.
This is the reality of public radio... Your membership keeps it going!
If you value what WBJC brings to you and to the fine arts community, please keep WBJC in mind as you plan your end-of-year charity giving.
Your tax-deductible donation
ensures that this great music is available and accessible to ALL in our listening area.
Thank you!

A quick note about the premiums... some of the CDs have come in from Naxos and are being sent out this week! However, the Rachmaninov set is still on back-order.
The WBJC Logo Premiums are currently being made and will ship from the vendor as soon as they finished. We were just notified that there's a delay in the baseball hats and they won't be finished until the 1st week of December.
We're very sorry about the long wait on the premiums. Thank you for your understanding and your continued patience!
