KOOP Membership Drive Hits the Mascot Wedding Show

It's Winning Time!
Hey everyone! KOOP Radio’s Fall Membership Drive is upon us once again. I say this without exaggeration — this is one of our favorite times of year at the Mascot Wedding Show. “Oh, why, because you get to bilk us out of money?” Come on, don’t be snide. I’m trying to create a genuine moment here.

It’s our favorite time of year because it gives us a chance to thank YOU on air for supporting our show and supporting KOOP. We’ve been doing this radio show for three years now, and we couldn’t have made it without the institution that is KOOP, and the support of listeners like you.

We’ll be on the air asking for pledges for the next three weeks, so please call in and help support KOOP. We’ll have on-air guests, special surprises, AND all pledges over 25 dollars will receive our WINNING TIME FUN PAK, a collection of goodies that we’re putting together as our way of saying thanks. So, please tune in to 91.7 FM or online at www.koop.org. Or just call in — 472-5667 or nationwide at 1-888-917-5667. Your support, as always, is greatly appreciated.
