Financial Report & Goals
The transition team has been hard at work trying to forge a future for WCNP through its Vision 2020 campaign.
We are pleased to report that all the necessary pieces seem to be falling into place and despite the necessary cancellation of our Concert & Dinner, the future looks very bright.
We are announcing the Vision 2020 goal as $45,000 with the encouragement that over $16,000 has already been received; with 19 listeners committing to monthly support.
The hope is to close the remaining gap of $28,000 during the Spring Friend Raiser on April 1-2.
When we meet this goal, we will be able to retire our manager Dennis, renew contract with Drew, and remain independent as your classically Christian station.
