Dear Members and Friends,

Thanks for your support of KMUW as a member, listener, donor or volunteer. The public radio community you help create is an invaluable resource for Wichita and the surrounding area. We appreciate your participation in the work we do, whether you volunteer at an event, provide feedback on a story you heard, or contribute the dollars it takes to operate the station.

A decade ago, the programming staff at the station began a concerted effort to focus KMUW on news and information by building the lineup of national and international programs. Our listeners responded positively, and now we are serving a larger audience than ever. Three years ago, staff conducted a strategic planning process to help KMUW through the ever- changing landscape of public radio and the evolving forms of information delivery. KMUW is facing more competition than ever before – from satellite programs, podcasts, webcasts, and blogs, as well as magazines and newspapers.

We recognized that the key to long-term viability would be our coverage of local news, our production of local music programs, and our community engagement. We strive to be a trust- ed source of in-depth local news and music, as well as a provider of programs from NPR and other national distributors.

As a result, KMUW has increased its local content in a number of ways. We’ve added more in-depth features, more reports for our local newscasts, more commentaries and more website content. We now offer 25 hours of locally-produced music programming each week and nine hours every weekend. And we’re not stopping there. Our new host, Briana O’Higgins, will soon go beyond Morning Edition reporting in an upcoming health series.

All of this is to say that – at a time of unprecedented change in the world of broadcast and other media – when anyone can say just about anything through just about any technology platform and call it “news” – when information about local, national and world events and culture are more critical than ever, requiring more solid, professional and accurate journalism – KMUW and its staff are committed to bringing you the most honest, accurate, intelligent and relevant reporting of local news and information and the broadest local cultural programming you will find anywhere in the area. It’s all for you. And where we go from here is up to you, too. Thank you for embracing the journey.

Sincerely,

Mark McCain General Manager 2 MISSION STATEMENT Wichita Public Radio is a trusted source of local, national and world news, providing its audience with a broad discussion of ideas, and a distinctive blend of diverse music and entertainment, while operating as a significant public service of Wichita State University.

Richard and Cheryl Lewis Community partnership is a cornerstone of KMUW, and the past several pledge drives have high- lighted that dedication. KMUW teamed up with the following nonprofit organizations: Fall 2009 Campaign The Old Town Farmers’ Market donated five pounds of fresh produce to the Kansas Food Bank for each pre-drive pledge resulting in 767 pledges and 3,835 pounds of food. During the on-air drive, the Orpheum Theatre contributed three sets of year-long passes, and Hatman Jack’s offered a caps and gloves match to benefit Operation School Bell. Spring 2010 Campaign Five percent of each pre-drive pledge was matched by East Wichita Rotary to support the teen boys in the Wichita Children’s Home program. Pledges that arrived before April 6 were also entered in a draw- ing to have Carl Kasell’s voice on their home answering machine. The honor was won by long time members Stephen and Ann Starch. Fall 2010 Campaign Star Lumber matched every pre-pledge drive donation with a 2x4 for a Wichita Habitat for Humanity family home, as well as pledges made during the last Friday of the drive. The drive resulted in enough studs for about one-and-a-half local family homes with nearly 600 pledges. Additionally, Century II provided five pairs of tickets to Leo Kottke’s concert. 9 Member Leadership Wichita Public Radio gratefully acknowledges the generosity of these individuals, businesses and foundations for their generous gifts in support of current operations and special projects from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.

Your Gift that Gives Back: KMUW’s Planned Giving Program

Make a promise for the future of KMUW 89.1

We couldn’t do it without you. From Morning Edition to All Things Considered and Jazz Café to Global Village, your outright membership gifts help KMUW 89.1 purchase and produce the program- ming you appreciate. Each spring and fall, you accept the invitation for support through our on-air fundraising drives. For that, we thank you.

Have you ever thought about extending your support by including a gift to KMUW in your will or trust? By making a bequest to benefit KMUW, you can assure the best of public radio will extend beyond your lifetime. You can designate the purpose of your gift and since a bequest is revocable, you remain in full control of your assets.

A planned gift to KMUW allows you to make a statement about the impact the station has made on your life and your belief about its future. One couple who did just that is Richard and Cheryl Lewis. For two decades, Dick was the campus pastor at Wichita State University. Cheryl is retired from a ca- reer as an elementary school teacher. Dick and Cheryl enjoy receiving news and entertainment from the station and this motivated their planned gift to KMUW.

Consideration of a planned gift starts with your vision. What is your dream for the future of KMUW? With that in mind, we can help you structure a gift that is meaningful to both you and KMUW. And if the station already is in your estate plans, please let us know, so we can assure that your gift is used according to your wishes.

For more information, contact Denise Irwin, Director of Development for KMUW, at (316) 978-7173 or [email protected] or Mike Lamb, Vice President for Planned Giving at the WSU Foundation, at (316) 978-3804 or [email protected].
