Hey efd and Gaylord.
I was just driving home and love what you guys just said about pledging and volunteering time. I have been a 30yr listener and supporter. I have been volunteering weekly on the Wake N Bake show since the summer. Very rewarding to help with more than just donating money. And both myself and girlfriend find swag for life a much easier way to donate.

Every time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for every
