Posted by DEAN SKIP RUTHERFORD – This morning from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. I will be on KUAR/KLRE public radio raising money for the local National Public Radio (NPR) affiliate. Virgil Miller of Metropolitan Bank and I do this every year because we enjoy and appreciate the quality programming that NPR provides. If you want to help support public radio in Arkansas, call in a pledge to 501-569-8485. You can call this number anytime–even if we’re not on the air and make a contirbution.
And, if you really are an NPR junkie, come to the Clinton School on Tuesday, October 16 at noon for a brown bag luncheon featuring Kevin Klose, NPR’s CEO who will be in Arkansas. Hosting Kevin at the Clinton School is a special treat for us. One of our students, Dr. Gary Wheeler, served as chair of the local board. For reservations, email publicprograms@clintonschool.uasys.edu or call Nikolai Dipippa at 501-681-5239
