The following videos were submitted by Call FM listeners who want YOU to support Call FM during Summer Fund Drive this week. Pledge right now by calling 877-3-RADIO-5, or pledge online right here at callfm.com.
Summer Fund Drive begins next Monday, May 18th, and Call FM needs your help to raise our operating expenses! I’ve got a few fun ways for you to help out, and BOTH involve free stuff! Here are the ways you can help:
1) Make a short video telling people why you support Call FM, and/or why THEY should support. We will post the videos on our website during fund drive week, and if you make a video that we use, you get a FREE CD! The video we like best will also win a GRAND PRIZE featuring CDs and apparel from one of your favorite bands!
2) Download the SPONSOR FORM and get your freinds/family/pastors/etc. to sign up to support Call FM! Get people to pledge, and get a free CD and/or a T-shirt, depending on the number of people you sign up.
If you’re like me and you’re always looking for a holiday to celebrate, I’ve got a few reasons for you to don a party hat and maybe throw a little confetti. Today is Star Wars Day, a holiday that I fully intend to completely ignore (unless a coworker bakes Darth Vader cupcakes or something. Then I may be persuaded).
A day that I will be observing, though, is International Firefighters’ Day. Today we honor the firefighters who keep us safe, and who have given their lives serving their communities. IFD is also a day to say thank you to firefighters everywhere. So… THANK YOU!
My brother Kyle is a Firefighter for Lee County’s South Trail Fire Department, and I’ve decided to annoy thank him by posting a few pictures. Leave a comment now to thank the firefighters in your life!
This morning marked the end of our FM Static grand prize contest, and it is officially time to announce the winner! A HUGE congratulations to late-entrant Wesley R. of Ft. Myers!!! The FM Static CD and camcorder are yours to enjoy, so watch your mailbox!
Thanks to everyone who participated. We’ve got another grand prize contest starting soon, so be sure to keep tuning in!
Let’s blame it on the economy. We could call it a return to simpler times, when the little things in life could bring us joy without deflating our wallets. A world before technology. Before Wii and Rock Band and iPods distorted our view of true entertainment. Whatever we blame, Call FM Julio is officially hooked. And for just $1.99 you too can experience endless thrills, chills, and other fun things like… exhilaration.
It’s called a kite. (If you’re under the age of 67 you may need to wikipedia that one.)
Your afternoon guy, Julio, found a kite at a local Walgreens drugstore and has been thrilling himself–and plenty of innocent bystanders–with this $2 piece of plastic and string. Please enjoy a few video clips. The first one is a look at the sort of people who used to enjoy kites. Notice they lived in an era when none of the cool forms of entertainment existed yet. And that they’re the kind of people who randomly burst into song and dance without any warning, which could explain why things like kites get them incredibly excited.
The second video is of Call FM Julio showing us just why kite-flying could be making a comeback… or maybe he’s just showing us why when we see him these days, we should seriously consider running in the opposite direction. (OK, OK, so my laughter in the video might make you think differently. I’m just saying, approach at your own risk.)
