Marfa Public Radio spring membership drive starts next Friday

MARFA- KRTS Marfa Public Radio, 93.5 FM, begins its Spring Membership Drive on Friday, April 20.  The station is publically owned and operated, and relies on fundraisers and membership donations to fund its operations.

As a special incentive for donors, KRTS is giving away an iPad. Anyone donating online at marfapublicradio.org during “Cyber Weekend” will be entered for a chance to win. Cyber Weekend begins Friday April 20 and runs through midnight on Sunday, April 22.

And, in the grand tradition of public radio station’s everywhere, this Spring KRTS has a new Marfa Public Radio tote bag as a special gift to our members. Donors at the $120 level or above will receive a tote featuring KRTS’s new “happy radio,” designed by MGQDesigns. The tote can be viewed at the KRTS website, or by stopping by the Marfa Public Radio studios on Highland in Marfa.

None of this would have been possible without the support of local membership donations and support from local businesses. We’d especially like to thank West Mix Concrete for sponsoring the iPad Tablet Computer drawing.

The Spring Membership Drive runs through Friday, April 27.  You can become a member by phone at 800-903-KRTS or atmarfapublicradio.org. Membership donations to Marfa Public Radio – a 501(c)3 organization – are tax deductible. The station will also be featuring special programming all week long in celebration of the drive.
