Stories automatically makes you a member of A Jarful of Friends for
one year! There are no secret oaths to remember and the official handshake hasn’t
been changed in years! Just kidding. All you have to do is send your contribution to:

Well, that question is a little more difficult to answer. A
Jarful of Stories is a low-budget radio program. My goal is to make the show
self-supporting so I can keep it independent of other influences. And in order to make the
show as attractive as possible to radio stations, I offer it to them without charge.
So far, only WSCL-FM has
been kind enough to air A Jarful of Stories. I’m trying to get other
stations to air the program but that is a very slow process.
This whole fund raising thing is like a catch-22. Because
I work full-time as a school van driver for special needs students, I don’t have much
time to work on A Jarful of Stories. The less I work on the show, the farther I
get behind. At some point I will need to evaluate whether this is worth it.
Don’t get me wrong, I love making radio and I love
doing A Jarful of Stories. I just can’t do it for free anymore. Any
contribution you can make to A Jarful of Stories will help.

provide something missing in public radio today: children’s programming. |
