FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
Over the years we've heard just about every excuse possible as why people aren't members. Times are tough ... heating costs are on the climb .. my cat's vet bills are big this month. Erika Kooda is 13 and she doesn't have an excuse! She became a member during our Greatest Moments Fundraiser and she brought in her first payment (babysitting money) to the astonishment of her friend. So the next time you start conjuring up an excuse as to why you can't be a member .. talk to Erika.

IT'S YOUR BUSINESS TO KNOW
KAXE would like to thank all our business underwriters for their strong support. These businesses understand the value of having their name associated with KAXE. Why? Because KAXE members support the businesses that support KAXE. They will sometimes drive 50 miles to buy something at a business that supports KAXE versus going across the street to one that doesn't. Will you provide us with a name of a business you think should underwrite/support on KAXE?
