It’s not too late!

The White Rabbit might have been late for a very important date, but there is still plenty of time for you to support Raven Radio if we missed you during our One Day Drive! We are behind last year's pace and we need to hear from the almost 200 members that haven't renewed yet. You can make your contribution online, or call 747-5877 weekdays during business hours. Thanks to those who have already contributed!

If we missed you…

I was telling our little cat Moe that while our One Day Drive and the preceding week were truly an incredible display of community we are still short of our $85,000 Spring Drive goal. He said, let me help, everybody on the silvernet (his words) loves cats. He said that if we missed YOU, please make your contribution to this community wide effort now! He wants to thank everyone that helped so far...contributing, playing music, answering phones, and doing great radio shows (he listens...and contributes). Thank Mew! (Moe is a Sitka shelter cat and was born with one eye and two radio lovin' ears!) - Raven Radio GM Ken Fate

Food tastes better when it’s shared

It’s crisp, crunchy, and salty -- and you’ll never find it in a bag in the grocery store. Dipped in seal oil or eulachon oil (hooligan), it is a traditional Southeast Alaskan delicacy that signals spring as surely as a warm, sunny day. But, gathering herring eggs-on-hemlock branches is about a lot more than food.
