One of our objectives in building WRFU is to double the amount of community radio air time in Urbana and Champaign, but at minimal additional cost. Once the station is on the air, we expect station expenses of only a couple of hundred dollars a month, which will be primarily raised through our minimal membership fee structure. Anyone who is a member of the UC IMC can join WRFU for only $10/year. Of course you can give more, but like all IMC activities, we want these resources to be available to the community to everyone, regardless of financial resources.
In order to acheive this goal, we are doing a number of low-key fundraising efforts, like bringing Dave Lippman to town again to entertain the masses.
Another way in which we will be raising money, in fact maybe the major way we will raise funding, is through the sale of WRFU t-shirts and other logoed merchandise. These will bring in money, while at the same time raising public awareness of the station at minimal costs.
The first batch of shirts is hot off the silkscreen press. We have new t-shirts, in red and black with contrasting logo colors, for $15 ($17 for XXL). We also have recycled shirts in a variety of colors, many in women's and girl's sizes, for $10. Also, we'll have cloth patches with the WRFU logo available for stitching on your backpack, favorite jeans, or a hat, for $2.
These items will be available at the Dave Lippman concert on Tuesday, Oct. 12. Look for them soon at other places or drop by a WRFU meeting, every first and third Tuesday of the month at the IMC at 8pm.
Thanks go to Mink! for her silkscreening chops in producing these. |
