WDPR 88.1 FM — Voice of the Arts
Your Classical Public Radio Station in Dayton Ohio

THE CLARK J. HAINES SOCIETY

I put headphones on, crank up the volume and listen to Pavarotti wrap his voice around Nessun Dorma and I’m just in a whole other place. I can feel myself relax.
GM, Dayton

I told Tom I had no intention of moving to Dayton unless there was a classical station there. When he said there was, I said “I do”.
DR, Huber Heights

While listening to Carnival of the Animals “my little girls started being the animals they heard Leonard Bernstein describing. And then I joined them, and for the next ½ hour, we crawled on the floor, pretended to have elephant trunks, and flew through the air. …what a gift! The gift of a very special episode in our daily lives, an incredible bonding moment: only possible because of 88.1.”
M. K., Dayton

These are just some of the reasons that listeners like you support Classical 88.1. We’ve always relied on a mix of private individuals, corporations, foundations, and state and federal governments to support the station’s programs and services but we’re also finding that in today’s world, increased giving from individuals is becoming more important to our overall success.

By becoming a member of the Clark J. Haines Society, you recognize Classical 88.1 as a valued cultural asset in your life and in our community, and partner with us enthusiastically to sustain it. Because Classical 88.1 plays an important role in your life, join the Clark J. Haines Society today with an annual gift of $1,000 or more.
Although Classical 88.1 welcomes and appeals to a broad audience, the station’s ability to fulfill its mission of enriching the community rests on a much smaller group, the Clark J. Haines Society, whose members share both a deep commitment to our cultural community and the economic power to make a difference. Clark J. Haines Society members share our conviction that Classical 88.1 must be supported in its goal of sharing the arts in our community with everyone – rich and poor, young and old, schooled and skilled.
Clark J. Haines Society members enable Classical 88.1 to go beyond the status quo – to expand our vision of excellence, to take risks on new programming, to develop our interactive technologies, and to find innovative ways to serve the community.
Membership in the Clark J. Haines Society begins with an annual contribution of $1,000 or more.
