Hi all, Thanks for all of your efforts and pitching during our pledge drive. We’ve made good progress, but we’re a bit short of our goal. Let’s continue to remind our listeners that we still need their support. Please read one of the scripts below (and attached) at least once per hour during your shift in the coming week. Feel free to put them in your own words. For anyone who does their shift live at KCBX or records here, these scripts are in the studios (in the front of the black box in the MCR, and on the easel in Studio X). Chris will follow up on Monday with an update on numbers. Post-Pledge Spot #1 :15 If you made a gift to KCBX during our fall pledge drive, thank you. You make this program possible. We finished just short of our goal, though, so, if you haven't donated yet, you can still help by giving at kcbx.org [or by calling (during business hours) at 800-549-8855.] Post-Pledge Spot #2 :25 I’d like to thank you, if you made a donation to KCBX during our fall pledge drive. You make it possible for this station to provide the news, information and music that you rely on every day. We finished just short of our goal, though, and it’s important that we meet our budget. So, if you haven't yet made your pledge of support, you can still help by donating at kcbx.org [or by calling (during business hours) at 800-549-8855.] Post-Pledge Spot #3 :25 If you contributed during our fall pledge drive, thank you so much! If you haven’t given yet, you can still do so. We ended a bit short of our goal, and your support will help us get there. Your gift allows us to keep broadcasting the quality programming you’ve come to rely on since we began 49 years ago. Pledge at kcbx.org [or call 800-549-8855 (during business hours). Thanks for your support.] Thank you! Marisa __ Marisa Waddell (she/her) Director of Programming and Content KCBX Central Coast Public Radio (805) 549-8855 mwaddell@kcbx.org http://www.kcbx.org

Hi All! Thanks so much for all of your pitching and promoting during pledge drive. It takes a village, and, I know, I'm happy to be part of this village. As Marisa said, we still aren't quite there. These scripts work — and sound great. We are getting donations from people who missed giving during the on-air push. We are around 85% of our $220,000 goal. I'll be keeping the thermometer on the homepage updated. In my email and mail communications to those who haven't yet given, I'll be pushing the Oct. 15 deadline for people to give and help us get to the 100% mark. Thanks again for all you do! Happy Fall.
