sumthin crazy

About a month ago I volunteered to produce the fund drive show for IMRU. I volunteered because i was tired of doing the same thing over and over again and i wanted to try something different. I got flack from some of the imru'ers who felt that I didn't include them. Everyone was given the option to participate and participated is doing the work we do whether it's directing or technical assistant whatever it is that is also participating. I received a lot of support from the station. They helped me with two premiums and I went into the IMRU stash and put together 10 grab bag gifts also something different and I got help from the station to bundle them up. Steve got donations for 2 books and I got a CD from local musician greg jasperse. I fulfilled my obligations to the KPFK staff and to the IMRU staff. I couldn't have done it without Curtis' collaboration and professionalism. Rita gave me a chance and took a chance and trusted me. I did my best with what I had available. We raised 650 dollars for KPFK represented by IMRU. I'm not sad about all the hours i put into it because i love the station and i want it to stay independent. I'm sad that we don't have listeners who want to support the station and IMRU through dollars. Even though the dollar is worth less than a Euro and it's now worth less than a Canadian dollar.
I did it little by little. I was afraid, I pushed through my fear, but I knew I had the freedom to fail. I didn't fail. I did my part with my whole heart is spite of opposition. So whoever wants to I invite you to produce a fund drive show. I hope you can raise more money next time and do it your way and quit bitching! I don't have time for it! Push through your fear my much loved friends. Try something different! Today!
