It’s one thing to be inspired. It’s another thing to act on your inspiration. Four decades ago, when your friends and neighbors across the High Plains provided the support to make your public radio listening possible, they had some seed of inspiration, some source of motivation that prompted them to act and pledge their support. It might have been about realizing the need to support the service they use. It might also have been about believing in the value of having public radio service available to everyone in their community. Whatever their source of inspiration and motivation, they acted.
We hope that during the 2019 Fall Membership Campaign you take a bit of inspiration from your friends, neighbors and fellow citizens of the High Plains and join as a first-time member of HPPR, or perhaps renew your support if it’s been a number of years since you last contributed.
