The Pledge Drive
We�ll get back to Smed�s Corner in a moment, but I wanted to take this time to talk to you about and what it takes to put the great writing and essays of Smed�s Corner on the web and how you can make sure that Smed�s Corner stays on the internet.

All of the great programming, such as �Know Your States� (coming back soon), the various mix discussions, song lyric dissections, the Smed travel stories (a new-ish hit series), the popular family series, and all of the other great things that you see here on Smed�s Corner is made possible from the generous gifts and grants of you, the reader.

It takes a lot to keep Katie in ballet slippers, Kristin in pull-ups, Smed�s on airplanes and Liz in Puffs and cold medication. It takes your generous support. We hear from you all of the time

Smed�s Corner doesn�t come to you via advertisers. It comes to you thanks to you. If you didn�t support Smed�s Corner, there wouldn�t be this great programming that you read on a daily basis, and there definitely would be a void in the internet.

So to support Smed�s Corner, we�ve put together some great premiums that you can receive if you make a modest pledge.

For $10 a month, you can get a Smed�s Corner paperweight.

For $20 a month, you can get a Smed�s Corner coffee mug.

For $25 a month, you can get a one-of-a-kind Smed�s Corner tote bag.

For $50 a month, you can get the official Smed�s Corner Karaoke game. That�s a gift for you that will keep on giving. Well, that and the satisfaction that you have deep inside you knowing that you kept Smed�s Corner on the internet.

And, until midnight tonight, if we get 25 more readers pledge to Smed�s Corner, an anonymous donor will match, dollar for dollar, every pledge that we received today.

So won�t you consider a pledge to Smed�s Corner?

I want to talk about the operators here tonight as well. They�re selflessly giving of their time for this cause � to make sure that Smed�s Corner programming remains on the web, free of charge.

So please, give during this pledge drive. Let�s meet our goal and keep the great essays on the web!

Thank you, it�s 19 minutes past the hour�
