Please Send A Card

I've just heard that a woman who works as a part-time commentator on one of our local talk radio shows had a double mastectomy and is about to undergo chemotherapy. She is married and is the mother of a 12-yr.-old girl.

Can you afford a small card + a stamp? Please send Kelly a pretty card with a picture of flowers, nature, anything bright and cheerful. Write: "Thinking of You", "Get Well," "Have A Good Day,"--any cheerful message.

If you cannot buy a card, then make one or send a picture post card. 

International (non-USA) readers of this blog post, please send a pretty postcard.

WKKX is a local radio station that is locally owned, operated, and staffed. It serves the eastern Ohio/northern panhandle of West Virginia listening area. It is supported by advertising from local businesses.

This station was formed a few years when many local employees of the Wheeling Clear Channel station lost their jobs. WKKX is an example of a place-based economy and proves that local talk radio can succeed in spite of big corporations.
