And the Winners Are!


What an incredible Fund Drive! Fiscal and Physical Health was the theme and members seemed to be thrilled with the Apple a Day Level! Listening to KMXT programing keeps you healthy, like an apple a day! Thank you to everyone who made a pledge to the station.

I want to announce the volunteer winners of the 5,000 Alaska Airline Miles.

For the most new members during thier show:
Leigh Thomat with 2 new members during her Tuesday Morning Show

Jim Cobis with the most money brought in during his show "Peace Train"

and a special award to Jim Peterson who's show "The Acoustic Music Hour" has consistently brought in the most pledges during our fund drives: a Digital Radio.

Thank you to all the volunteers who did such an incredible job for KMXT on the air, answering phones and at the Safeway Table. You are all AWESOME!

The concert at the Orpheum was AMAZING. What a fun venue an intimate setting with popcorn, very cool. Patty Larkin and Peter Mulvey are wonderful, they are both so talented and gracious.

So thank you all for the successful Fund Drive and remember you can become a member of KMXT ANYTIME.

How to win 5,000 Alaska Airline Miles and More!


OK I mentioned the Fund Drive coming up on October 20th and that we are focusing on increasing our Membership and visiblity. They go hand in hand, the more people who know about us and listen, the more who will want to become members. Plus for every $25 of their pledge everyone gets one chance at our Grand Prize of 60,000 Alaskan Air Miles. Pledges have to be paid before December 1st to qualify for an entry.

And there's more:

In my last article I talked about all KMXT members being entered in a special drawing if they bring in new members.

KMXT wants to do something special for our On-air volunteers during the Fund Drive. The host who brings in the most new members during thier shift will win 5,000 Alaska Air Miles! And the Host who brings in the most money during their shift will win 5,000 Alaska Air Miles! The Fund Drive schedule is posted on this site so take a look. If you would like to sign up for an air shift give me a call. Start talking to people now about becoming a member and have them call in when you are on the air. Remember this is the most "New Members" and the "Most money" So plan ahead and win those miles :)


Don't forget to celebrate the end of the Fund Drive:
Patty Larkin and Peter Mulvey will be performing as part of the KMXT concert series at the Orpheum Theater on Tuesday, October 28th. Two incredible artists in one show. Tickets are available now at KMXT. $25 per person.

On October 20th we will kick off our On-Air Fall Fund Drive! Do you have friends who have listened to KMXT for years and are not members? Do you know people, new to the community, who may not have found us yet? Or has your membership lapsed and you need to renew?

We are focusing on increasing membership and visibility this fund drive. If you know someone who will call in and become a first time member, have them mention your name and you will be entered in a special drawing. You will get one entry for each membership you bring in. Cool huh? Ok, thats your challange, start thinking of people to mention this to and help KMXT grow stonger this fall. We are all in this together, thank you for your support.
