Erin Van Ness writesLast Chance to Support CHIRP in 2011!

Technically, yes, you have until 11:59pm tomorrow evening when the ball drops to become one of the shiny, happy, proud 2011 members of the best radio station in Chicago. But we’re pretty sure you’ll be so busy checking out a show, enjoying the company of your loved ones, or watching the Navy Pier fireworks blaze that we thought we should send you a reminder today.

CHIRP has had an amazing ride in 2011. Through the highs (two best radio station nods!) and lows (a devastating flood in July) we’ve persisted with one major goal in mind: to provide you with the best local independent radio station there is. At the end of this rollercoaster that we call 2011, we ask you to take a minute to think about what CHIRP means to you.

Did you discover a new band or learn about a local organization? Did you listen to an interview with your favorite artist or see an amazing show? Did you purchase some unforgettable albums or attend a cool community event?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re the perfect candidate to become a member of this station. So before you crack open another bottle of champagne, put on your dancing shoes, and get those lips puckered up, head on over to chirpradio.org/donatenow, and show your support today.

Please don’t delay. This is absolutely, positively your last chance to become a 2011 member of the Best Overall Radio Station in Chicago*!

Wishing you a safe, happy, and healthy 2012 from your friends at CHIRP!
