Thanks for a Great Spring Pledge Party!
A special note from our Membership Director, Crystal Gross:
We fell a bit short of our goal, but more than 1,700 members called or went online to pledge their support, and I personally want to thank you for doing your part to help 'OZ guard the groove. If you didn’t get around to pledging during our drive, it's not too late – you can still pick up our great thank you gifts or a Brass Pass while supplies last.
We also want to give a big thanks to our superstar hosts and co-producers and dozens of phone volunteers, and the fantastic performers whose performances and interviews were magical!
