KDLL Spring Membership Drive, May 27 & 28

919039361464473

Support local journalism! Membership proceeds this year will support KDLL’s new Report For America position. We’re excited to expand our reporting capacity through this partnership and get to cover our often-overlooked neighboring communities (Nikiski, Kasilof, Clam Gulch, Ninilchik, Cooper Landing, Moose Pass and Hope). We can’t do it without you! Our fundraising goal this year is $40,000. Your membership donation directly supports journalism on the central Kenai Peninsula. Thank you! We’ll be live on the air 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, May 27 and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 28 for our Spring Membership Drive, to tell you all about Report For America and bring you special, fun programming:
