JUNE 2015 As Summer Begins, Raise the Thermometer at PBS39!
JUNE 2015
As Summer Begins, Raise
the Thermometer at PBS39!
It has been an exciting spring at PBS39.
Throughout May, we successfully hosted a
variety of fun events, including our TEDxLehighRiver Friendraiser (May 4th), a performance by
Celtic musicians Colm Keegan and Laura
Durrant (May 14th), and our flagship event, the
Fifth Annual PBS39 MicroBrew Festival (May
30th). In addition, we featured more of the
high-quality programming you’ve come to expect
from PBS39, including Mr. Selfridge and the
season finale of our weekly news magazine
program, FOCUS.
Now, we turn our attention to the summer
months, and we find ourselves in the midst of
another wave of special programming and
member favorites. There’s something for
everybody this month on PBS39, especially if you
love music. Special presentations of Mannheim
Steamroller: 30/40 Live and ThePianoGuys: Live
at Red Butte Garden will be accompanied by
exclusive ticket offers. It’s our way of saying
“Thank You” for pledging your financial support
to PBS39 during these programs.
Your support during programs like these — as well
as this month’s live presentations of Ed Slott’s
Retirement Roadmap, Pain Prescription with
Dr. Mitchell Yass and Aging Backwards with
Miranda Esmonde-White — is crucial as our fiscal
year draws to a close on June 30th. With your
help, we can finish the year on target and begin
next year on strong financial footing. If there was
ever a good time to support public media, that
time is now!
One final note: Singer-songwriter Mary Fahl is
coming back to PBS39 on Saturday, June 6th for
an intimate acoustic performance. Tickets are
still available at wlvt.ticketleap.com, and we
couldn’t be happier to offer this special concert
here at the studio!
Summer is about to heat up at PBS39. We hope
you’ll join us for the great month ahead!
