Hello from the Radio Heritage Foundation, you'll find us at www.radioheritage.net. We keep radio's memories alive. Will you help us?
In case you missed our earlier email about our website, here it is again! We know many of you are very busy and it's easy to overlook some mails.
Our thanks to those of you who have already responded! Thanks for your encouragement and support. If we haven't personally replied to you already, we will do so as soon as we can.
Radio touches us in so many ways. That's why it's important that someone takes the time to keep a track of the voices, people, events and so much more connected to radio. It's so easy to forget and lose part of our cultural heritage, our understanding of who we are and how we got here.
There are so many lost stories, but we're so very grateful that so many people help us capture some of these stories before it's too late.
We put these stories on www.radioheritage.net. Will you help us continue to share these stories about radio heritage from around the Pacific? Here's how you can make a real difference with as little as US$10 today.

You may be one of the thousands of people who visit our website every week, checking some facts about radio heritage around the Pacific, searching for stations in our radio guides, tracing famous people and events or even family genealogy...in fact, nearly 17,000 separate search terms entered into search engines during 2008 led people to our site.....or you may even work at one of the thousands of radio stations around the Pacific region listed at www.radioheritage.net
Many of you congratulate us on our volunteer based website, saying you like the stories, the photos, the information you can find, and much more! We're really pleased to know that the site is useful, and that, even if you only visit us once or a few times, we've helped you in some way.
As we've matured, so have the demands on our resources grown. The technologies available to us now were almost imaginable in 2004.
To unlock more from our growing collections and let us provide more services such as on-line radio sound archives, the new searchable database, more radio guides, new ways for you to talk with us and other users of the site, we're having to rebuild our site......and we need your help to keep more stories and content flowing onto our existing site over the coming six months whilst this work takes place behind the scenes.
Before March 31, we need to find US$795 to add a backlog of exciting new content to the site...16 great new radio stories, more of our popular Long Lost Australian Radio Stars series, 15 fantastic Long Lost Radio Images, great book reviews, news items, anniversaries, events and much more.....
We've got a great web designer willing to put in many hours of work for us to do this at greatly reduced rates, and so we're asking if you'd be prepared to make a specific donation of US$10 or more towards getting this job done.

If just 80 readers pledge US$10 each or 8 readers of this email pledge US$100 each, we've got the cost covered. Or, 16 of you pledge US$50 each....you can see that a few can have a large impact.....
For many people, a visit to www.radioheritage.net is a nostalgic trip down memory lane to see old radio friends again, and over the past four years, we've had nearly half a million people stop by the site and find something useful. All up, you've looked at millions of pages and registered millions more hits, and spent hundreds of thousands of hours on the site!!
We've only brought you the tip of a very large iceberg of materials already in our collections, and we've done this as a free service......something that's central to our whole approach, and one we'll continue in the future.
We'd like to honor and acknowledge everyone who is able to contribute in some way towards funding this US$795 we need, and we'd like your permission to name you and your location as part of the new content we begin adding. If you prefer, you can remain anonymous.
