But when the drives go off without a hitch, as our Spring drive did this year, it all makes it worthwhile. This year we were able to take full advantage of the resources of the University s Annual Giving department for help in planning and promotion of the drive, as well as a few much-needed extra hands during the week. The KMST staff was, as usual, a true joy to work with, as were our on-air and phone volunteers. We had several local businesses provide us with food and snacks during the drive, and they were very much appreciated. Most of all, thank you to all of you for supporting KMST! This resource is a treasure in rural South Central Missouri, and I am privileged to be a part of it. Thank you for your support! Marketing Manager... by Joel Goodridge I would like to encourage you to thank our underwriters for their support of KMST.
