Congratulations to our winners listed below in no particular order!

Beth Lacey
My favorite place to kick back and listen to WYPR this summer is in the grass under the shade tree of my front yard, with one hand surrounding a cold Natty Bo and the other scratching my dog behind the ears.

Christy
My favorite place to kick back and listen to WYPR this summer is driving over the Bay Bridge on the way to the beaches.

Nicole
My favorite place to kick back and listen to WYPR this summer is in my backyard, tossing feed to my chickens and eating our homegrown cucumbers and tomatoes.

These three listener participants will receive a WYPR T-shirt.  This week is the last round of the contest.  If you’ve been thinking about submitting a finisher in any of the previous three rounds, this is the one you should throw your hat into.

Complete The Sentence Contest

Posted by wyprmembership on July 1, 2009

To celebrate the summer season during the month of July, WYPR will be holding a “Complete the Sentence” contest.

The idea is simple:  WYPR will post a partial sentence, and you finish it with something creative, witty, sincere, fun, hysterical or something no one was expecting (nothing scandalous please).  Then, every Friday you will have the opportunity to vote on your favorite submission.  Just return to this site and vote.  Each week three winners will be selected to receive a WYPR T-shirt.  It is that simple.

It is not necessary to be a member to enter but come on, why would you not want to support the station that brings you as much information and entertainment as WYPR?  Before you go on vacation, take a moment to support the station that is aways there for you…no matter what the season.    Become a Summer Supporter today!

WYPR Summer Supporters Campaign

Posted by wyprmembership on July 1, 2009

Welcome to the WYPR Membership Blog!  We’re very excited in the Membership Department to announce our first ever Summer Supporters Campaign.

Historically, the summer months have always seen reduced revenue.  This season, the recession has brought the summer revenue to levels below what is needed.

However, even as other revenue sources have been affected, WYPR members have been more generous than ever.  We hope you will consider joining our campaign and become a Summer Supporter today!
