Box 89 <br />r oH"hiS$1QNERS w Fort Pierce. FL 34SBt-5599 <br />_A <br />N <br />Your public radio station, WQCS/Classic 89 FM, needs your help in connection with <br />our efforts to obtain a federal equipment grant. <br />We are requesting from the National Telecommunications & Information Agency <br />$32,945.00. The money would be used to replace aging tape recorders and cart <br />machines used in the.day-today operation of the radio station. Our existing <br />equipment, obtained nearly ten years ago, was purchased with local and not federal <br />funds. <br />The single most important aspect of the grant application process is demonstrating - <br />that a public broadcast facility is, in fact, serving community needs. Letters from <br />community leaders, such as yourself, are important in showing that. <br />It would be deeply appreciated if you would take a few minutes and write a letter in <br />which you voice your strong support for WQCS/Classic 89 FM and its grant <br />application. If you are one of the 30,000 "plus" people who listen to the station <br />each week, please tell us what you like about Classic 89. Maybe it's our in-depth <br />news coverage or our careful blend of soothing classical music. Perhaps it's our <br />jazz programs or our in-depth reports on local issues. <br />If you're not a listener, perhaps you have spoken to others who are. Tell us why <br />=they tune to WQCS/Classic 89 FM. <br />With today's busy.lifestyles, we know we are asking a lot. Still, we can't <br />;emphasize enough how important such letters are to the grant process. <br />1If •you feel you can write a letter of support, please send it to WQCS/Classic 89 FM <br />4as quickly as possible. These letters must be filed with the'National Telecom- <br />, munications & Information Agency prior to March 2nd. We plan to compile and forward <br />,our grant application "letters of support" on Friday, February 23rd. <br />:_Thank you f r the serious consideration we know you will give thisp�bTION <br />LIST <br />T <br />mmissioners <br />S y' ministrator <br />•Attorney <br />Personnel <br />H. ami Holmes .
