It will take approximately $350,000 to open the channel. The campaign was launched they've got it If its value is $25 or more." It takes a year to organize such an auction and women will be asked to start soon to canvass neighborhood merchants and friends for merchandise. CAMPAIGN leaders will meet with Mayor Richard G.

Burkhart wants the drive terminated by then. The $t-a-month charter membership brings with it a monthly bulletin of NET programs and sidelights. Other monthly memberships offered will be $2 sustaining, $5 sponsoring and $10 patron. One may become a life member by a donation of $1,000. All are tax deductable.

EVEN more women will be asked to work for NET in preparing for the March, 1971, television auction that, it is hoped, will raise sufficient funds to operate the program for the year.
