Grassroots
Effort
Keeps
Program
Alive
The
impact
of
the
economic
recession
made
it
clear that
substantive
reductions
to
the
WUWF
operating
budget
would
mandate
tough
choices
about
program
services.
It
became
evident
that
RadioLive,
the
popular
community-building
live
performance
program
for
more
than
two
decades,
would
not
be
funded
for
the
upcoming
season.
An
announcement
to
that
effect
triggered
a
grassroots
movement
of
devoted
RadioLive
fans,
determined
to
keep
the
program
going. The
Jim
Dyehouse
Memorial
Fund
to
Save
RadioLive
was
begun,
named
in
honor
of
one
of
the
program’s
most
loyal
attendees. Joe
Trapp,
de
facto
volunteer
chair
of
the
grassroots
fundraising
effort,
rallied
the
audience
before
the
start
of
each
show
with
an
appeal
for
donations. A
“tip
jar”
located
near
the
door
began
to
fill
each
month
with
contributions,
both
small
and
large,
and
slowly
the
fund
began
to
grow.
The
annual
goal
for
the
Save RadioLive
Campaign
is
$20,000
and
reaching
the
goal
will
keep
RadioLive
going
through
June
2011.
Your
contribution,
in
any
amount,
will
help
make
that
happen.
