Donations Needed for International Village Webcast

(Shameless Horn-Tooting)



Last year, Tube City Online and its affiliate, Lightning Community Broadcasting, provided continuous live coverage of the 50th International Village. We also archived our coverage at the Lightning FM website.

Despite a few glitches, the webcast was very well received, and we want to do it again this year. But we can't afford to underwrite all of the costs out of pocket again.

In case you're wondering what we need to pay for, we have to rent a high-speed wireless connection and purchase some new equipment. We've spent $406.80 so far, and that's buying used stuff!

. . .

If you can donate a few dollars, we will very gladly and graciously accept your money. Use the ChipIn button to donate securely using PayPal or a credit card. And thank you!

. . .

In addition, we'd like to find a few sponsors to underwrite the broadcast. This is a great, low-cost opportunity to promote your church festival, volunteer fire department, labor union or other worthy cause.

If your business or non-profit organization would like us to read some short commercials during the broadcast, please email me at jtogyer@gmail.com.

A $50 donation will entitle you to one 15-second announcement per hour throughout the broadcast, along with small ads at Tube City Almanac and LightningFM.org throughout the week of Aug. 16.

A $100 donation will entitle you to one 30-second announcement per hour, along with banner ads at Tube City Almanac and LightningFM.org during that week.
