The meeting at Cancun’s started at 7:30 am with Dave Wright, VP, serving as the chair. Following the pledge, four-way test, and a blessing by Mike Shafer, we shared breakfast. Then Linda and Carl gave a glowing report on the pie baking by our Interact club, noting that over 40 pies were prepared by the teams. There were more boys than girls in the kitchen and the club left the space immaculate. Linda noted that the apples were given by Kenny Migliorelli – Granny Smiths and Macouns.

Fred introduced Deborah Barrow, of WAMC, to the group. Deborah has had a residence in Red Hook since 1983 and has been a fulltime resident since 2011. When she became a fulltime resident she began fundraising for WAMC. She emphasized the increasing importance of radio, particularly public radio, in disseminating the news. Noting that 1800 newspapers have closed in recent years. She said that WAMC now covers a huge swatch of the area from Mount Kisco to Plattsburg and from Cooperstown to Mid-Massachusetts. Keeping up with new technologies, they also have developed live streams for computer access, podcasts of special interest and numerous other outlets. Personally, Deborah has developed a number of new sponsors, including Hummingbird Jewellers and Nuvance Health Insurance. She reviewed their impressive lineup of programming and purchases of programs from NPR. She noted that their Lock Box initiative reduces on air fundraising to four days per year to reach their $1million per quarter requirements. Since 2016, their listeners have increased 20%.

Happy $ collected = $35!
