VPR's Pledge Central: February 2010
Pledge Central is your source for information about the VPR membership drive. Check out the drawing prizes and winners, contest rules, pictures of the thank you gifts, VPR's business partners, info about the voices you hear, and even a primer on why membership drives are so important.
Business Partners!
From the restaurants that feed volunteers and staff to companies that donate drawing prizes, membership drives would be a lot less fun without the support and generosity of our business partners. We consider them part of the VPR family and hope you'll support and thank them for making what we do possible.
