We are behind in our goal and running out of time for your support during Forward Radio’s 5th Anniversary Pledge Drive. We were live in the studio at 2pm on April 6th to encourage you to donate whatever you can at http://forwardradio.org to help us reach our goal of $5000 by the end of the Drive on Saturday, April 9th. Joining station co-founder, Justin Mog and Dave Campbell from Louisville Reads are two members of the team behind the Louisville Community Grocery (http://louisvillecommunitygrocery.com).

Lachie Cairns is the manager of the new DeliUp service of the Louisville Community Grocery and Joseph Bowens is Co-Executive Director of the Grocery. They will be in-person and eager to meet you at Forward Radio’s 5th Birthday Party on Saturday, April 9th from 1-4pm at the Tim Faulkner Gallery (991 Logan Street). DeliUp will be doing a free tasting event, seeking your feedback on 12 different deli items that you can sample during our birthday party. Don’t miss it!
