We\u2019ve had the great sunny fall weekend and the first hard frost. So it\u2019s time to wrap up the yard and garden, to get ready for the long white season. Shut off and drain the outdoor tap?–check. Put up the canoe, get down the winter shirts and sweaters?–check. Furnace tune-up?–still gotta make the call.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But I keep having this feeling there\u2019s something else that I’m forgetting. Then while watching the squirrels pile up their winter supply of nuts and spruce cones it comes to me–can\u2019t forget the Fall Fundraiser–NCPR has to keep body and soul together through another long winter, too. We know it’s been a thin year for many, so we don’t ask for all the nuts, or even more than you can spare. But now’s the time to put a little something by for the winter.<\/p>\n

It’s been a busy year for NCPR. We\u2019ve added a new NCPR transmitter in Gouverneur, extending service to thousands. We\u2019ve launched WREM, a Public Radio Remix station serving St. Lawrence County. Our news team has expanded. We just launched our iPhone app, soon to be followed by apps for other mobile platforms. And this winter, while the squirrels are dreaming of spring, NCPR will be launching a three-year project deepening local news coverage and training a new generation of public media journalists.<\/p>\n

None of this would have been possible without the regular gifts of individual listeners, year after year, in fat times and in lean. Starting Monday at 6 am, and for the rest of the week, we\u2019ll be on-air asking you to give the gift of public radio<\/a><\/strong> to your community once again. It’s the season. Thanks to everyone who has already made a gift, and to everyone who helps out in the days to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
