October 29 2013 Hi
The amazing thing about time, is that as each month goes past, that's another 30 days of radio memories, stories and heritage to add to the pile which now stretches back almost 100 years. You'll find bits and pieces of radio history everywhere. Facebook these days is where we see a lot of photos and audio recordings flash by for a few hours before they disappear under a deluge of stuff, tantalizing but soon gone. The Radio Heritage Foundation tries to bring stuff together in one place at www.radioheritage.net and we have boxes of stuff to be sorted, scanned and shared and it still keeps coming in as people choose to keep things safe rather than just throw them in the trash. Our storage space is jam packed these days! But our biggest challenge is always finding the basic money we need to just cover the operational costs. We'd like to tell more people about what we do and get a good scanner so we can illustrate new features but we must first cover the weekly expenses. Each month we have to find $1,800 and donations average about $1,100 so it's a big challenge to try and even maintain funding and also catch up on the $5,150 arrears that has built up since April 1 2013. We're completely funded by donations from supporters. In New Zealand donations are tax deductible. As October ends, we're $5,150 behind. We need your help. Every 30 days we have more radio stories and stuff to keep safe, and another $1,800 to find to let us do the job. We've just taken on the big task of saving a radio station guide to Canada and the USA that was closing down so people can easily find hundreds of radio stations, and so we can start linking the memorabilia we have from many of these stations. Your donation today can help make this possible sooner rather than later. The simple fact is we need to start clearing the $5,150 we're in arrears and if you can help us today, you'll be helping keep the radio memories and stories safe in a very practical way. How? Just use the Paypal link below the KULA hula girl at www.radioheritage.net for either a one-off donation or become a sustaining supporter with more frequent donations if it's easier and more convenient.
