"Hey, that's no way to say goodbye" live, plus funding drive kickoff
| It's the 2017 Funding Drive! This is the one time of year that CKCU hosts ask their listeners to support the station. This year's funding drive will provide about a third of the station's budget, and is vital to our continued health. Here at the Friday Blend, our goal is $850, and you can help by calling 613.520.3920, or by clicking on www.ckcufm.com/pledge. Show cohost Bob is offering up six seats in his house for a private whisky tasting with food provided by Essence Catering and whiskies provided by him. To claim one of those seats, donate $93.10 and tell the operator you want the whisky tasting. There'll be more incentives from us as the campaign goes on. |
