Q: What if I don't really care for wine, would I enjoy the KXMS Benefit Wine Tasting?
A: Absolutely, yes! This is a Food & Wine Tasting event. And whether or not you try the various wines, there will also be that wonderful buffet. Besides, it's also a chance to enjoy the company of others who listen to 88.7KXMS and to meet KXMS staff.
Q: I can't attend the evening of March 27, can't I just send money in support of KXMS?
A: We will miss you, but feel free to write a check. Our mailing address is 3950 E. Newman Road, Joplin, MO 64801. Contributions to KXMS are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Q: Will my financial contribution really make any difference to KXMS?
A: Most assuredly. Operating under reduced budgets, KXMS is reliant on your generous
eleemosynary support to help defray the cost of maintaining exceptional radio service. Quality classical/fine arts programming does not come cheap. Our listeners demand good programming and providing good programming has never been inexpensive. Additionally, KXMS needs to upgrade its studios and replace all of our 20-plus-year-old equipment with HD equivalents.
Q: Do wine tasters spit out their
wine?
A: Not at this event!
AT RIGHT: Arde Khaleghi and family, your hosts at Arde's Villa and Arde's Main Street Bistro and long-time business supporters of our Annual Food & Wine Tasting Benefit
