KURU 89.1FM
San Antonio Community Radio Corporation
National Public Radio

April 1. 1982

Dear Mr. Casas:

Thank you for supporting KURU through our Citizens Committee for Public Radio. The other side of our letterhead includes most of the many individuals who have responded to the challenge of bringing Public Radio to our city.

Porter Loring, Jr. has accepted the position of Campaign General Chairman. He has been actively involved in the recruitment of campaign leadership and the other support groups necessary for a successful fund drive.

Our campaign brochure will shortly be completed, thanks to efforts of many individuals, including Lionel Sosa of Sosa and Associates. Our studio complex design team of Larry Travis, Curtis Neal, and C. R. Villarreal have completed most of their work! Their architectural plans are currently being reviewed by the Museum of Art and will shortly be forwarded to the Texas Historical Commision. We're also planning a preview reception of our future facilities.

KURU has applied to the City of San Antonio for a one time, non-recurring capital revenue sharing grant of $250,000. Enclosed are excerpts from this grant request for your review. One hundred fifty thousand dollar ($150,000) will be used for equipment purchase and $100,000 for studio renovation.

We would appreciate your support in helping KURU to obtain these funds. On Tuesday, April 6th, at 7:00 p.m. the city will hold Budget Hearings. The location is Centro de Artes, in Market Square, Santa Rosa at West Commerce. If you can attend this meeting, it would lend much needed support to our capital grant request. If you cannot attend, a letter to your councilperson in support of the KURU request would benefit this endeavor.

Thank you for your support of Public Radio KURU. We will contact you shortly with further information regarding the studio preview reception.

Sincerely yours,

Yolanda Rios Rangel
