On behalf of GPB, sincere thanks to the more than 1,400 new and renewing members who gave generously during the spring membership campaign that wrapped up Monday evening. While we did not reach our overall goals, certain shows put in a good showing along the way, and we are always encouraged by the many, many votes of supports and kind comments we did receive.

If you didn't have time to call during the campaign, it's not too late! Please support Midday Music and all your favorite GPB programs online at gpb.org: just click on the red radio where it says "Support GPB today!" Thank you, thank you, thank you!
