Duplicate mailings

By Diana Ross | Posted in Membership, WBJC News | Comments Off on Duplicate mailings

It’s come to our attention that we made an error when we sent out the recent pre-drive mailing to our members. We inadvertently used our list of individual members rather than collective households, which resulted in many people getting multiple mailings. Here at WBJC we pride ourselves on being frugal with your donations. This mistake was […]

Hooray! It’s fall!!

By Diana Ross | Posted in Staff Blogs | 11 Comments

Let me just state that categorically… To me, Fall is the colors of the changing leaves, a smell in the air of crispness, baked apples and campfires, the snuggly feel of  flannel clothes and the taste of pumpkin pie. It feels like the start of things, getting back to school or getting […]

Fall Drive wrap-up

By Diana Ross | Posted in Membership, Staff Blogs, WBJC News | 1 Comment

Yvonne and I went to an industry conference this year for Public Radio Membership staff and we were feeling very much like fish out of water. Everything was geared towards the NPR station, or mixed format, and the few times classical radio stations got a nod, it was about the loyalty of its members. Yvonne […]

The Nightmare… and Unrequited Love

By Diana Ross | Posted in Staff Blogs | Comments Off on The Nightmare… and Unrequited Love

As I was running the operations shift for Reed Hessler’s Sunday show, I grabbed the CD case for Raff’s Symphony No 5. “Lenore” and saw the terrifying cover art. I was mesmerized by this creepy horse and flipped through the liner notes to see who had painted this. “The Nightmare” by Henry Fuseli. What followed was me falling down (yet another) […]
