KISU-FM 91.1 will launch an abbreviated spring fund drive next week from Wednesday, April 11, through Friday, April 13.

KISU successfully ran its first-ever fall campaign last October, raising around $10,000 from generous donors. But station general manager Jerry Miller says it鈥檚 an ongoing process.

鈥淲ith constant pressure to reduce our student-fee funding, yet with so many important projects ahead, we can鈥檛 be content with just one drive a year,鈥� Miller said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e really hoping to find new dollars during this short three-day drive.鈥�

    Miller says this drive is connected to the April 28 Roger Williams concert at the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center.

鈥淎fter our fall fundraiser I immediately started thinking about other ways to raise more funds, and yet be able to say 鈥楾hanks鈥� to all of our loyal supporters. It hit me suddenly that one of 麻豆传媒AV鈥檚 most famous graduates, Roger Williams, had never performed in our brand new Performing Arts Center yet,鈥� Miller said. 鈥淚 made a phone call and the next thing I knew, we were trying to nail down a date for the concert. Being able to see Roger play in that beautiful facility, for many people, will be the treat of a lifetime!鈥�

 Miller also says donors during the Spring Fund Drive have a chance at their own Roger Williams tickets, 鈥淎nyone who donates $240 or more during the drive can go to the 鈥楶remiums鈥� section at the bottom of our 鈥楳ake A Pledge鈥� link at www.kisu.org, and click on the appropriate box to reserve their own two free ctickets to the concert!鈥�

He also adds that you don鈥檛 have to wait for a pledge drive to become a KISU member and make a donation. 鈥淚t鈥檚 really an easy thing to do. Again, just go to our Web page at www.kisu.org and click on the 鈥楳ake A Pledge鈥� link and you鈥檙e on your way.鈥�

    In a side note, Miller says the station is still working on getting a translator signal into the Idaho Falls market, and he鈥檚 hoping for good news about that project either late this spring or sometime this summer.

    Anyone with questions about KISU-FM or the coming fund drive can contact Miller at (208) 282-2688. KISU is found at 91.1 on the FM radio dial, and is funded by the Associated Students of ISU. The studios are located in the Pond Student Union Building on the ISU campus in Pocatello.
