Dear WBAI Management & Staff, Pacifica National Board, etc.,
According to LaVarn Williams, interim CFO of Pacifica and acting General Manager of WBAI, the WBAI fund drive that just concluded on Saturday, May 30th raised over $839,000! The goal for this drive in the Fiscal Year 2009 Budget was $672,000. According to James Ross, Chair of the National Finance Committee:
"This is very good news. The budget goal was actually $672,000, so we beat that by $160,000. For comparison, the winter drive did $545,000, and last spring did $608,000 (in two fewer days).
"This is the best WBAI drive in over two years."
Thank you LaVarn, Tony Bates, Pacifica fund drive 'wizard', Kathy Davis, Public Affairs Director , and all the WBAI staff and volunteers who made this drive a success. Your efforts are very much appreciated!
Congratulations!!
In Peace, Grace Aaron Interim Executive Director of the Pacifica Foundation
