Spring Campaign!

"Thank you" to everyone who has pledged during WVPE's current membership campaign!!! WVPE is YOUR public radio station, after all. As I say on the air, I love the campaigns because it brings together so many WVPE listeners. Of course I think WVPE listeners are the best folks out there, but I am a little biased.

If you are not a member or have not made your pledge yet, you can take care of it online.

Keep up the great work!

Steve Inskeep

Steve Inskeep is coming to South Bend! Don't miss the chance to meet your Morning Edition host! You can purchase a $50 ticket to the 5:30 p.m. LaSalle Grill Catering Events with Style dinner with Inskeep (limited to 40 people) or you can get a $10 ticket to his 7:30 p.m. talk (limited to 300). For now, tickets are only available to WVPE members. Non-members will be able to purchase tickets on April 2. The 7:30 p.m. tickets are $15 for non-members.

Buy tickets online (www.wvpe.org) or by phone (574.674.9873).

WVPE Shop

We now have a CafePress shop where you can purchase shirts and other gear with our new logo!

Studebaker Friday

Thanks to everyone who came out to Studebaker Friday on February 23! The event was a great success for WVPE and our partners the Studebaker National Museum.

We consider our events friend-raisers more than fund-raisers, so it was great to have an attendance near 1,000!

Here are some terrific photos from Cathy Dietz:
