This time last year, we at KRVS felt pretty worried at all the talk from Washington about defunding public radio. We were kind of like the ferns you see on the oak trees around Lafayette – pale and shrunken with nervousness, clinging to those branches like the life of this station depended on it.When listeners like you got the word about this, you made it rain. Every amount you sent in added up.So, like those ferns after a downpour, we leapt back to lush, green life. We don’t call ‘em “resurrection ferns” for nothing. That’s one reason this year’s beautiful KRVS T-shirt, mug and cap features that bright, verdant symbol of hope and renewal in a gorgeous design by Connor Broussard. Whenever a dry spell threatens to wither our spirits, your support revives us.
