THAT'S A WRAP (PARTY)!
Join us Saturday, April 4, from 12 to 5 PM at the KOOP studios as we wrap up our Spring Membership Drive.
If you picked up a thank-you gift during the drive, you can grab it in person at the party. While you’re here, take a behind-the-scenes studio tour, meet some of the volunteers and DJs who make KOOP what it is, and catch live music sets at 1 on Adventures In Sound and at 3 on The Singer and the Song.
We’re also inviting listeners to record their KOOP story: what you love about the station, what you’ve discovered here, and why you support it!
We’ll see you Saturday!
