Comment on October 2026 Membership Drive: Connecting Your Tags

    I honestly think many newer members, who are probably younger rather than older, may never have encountered this concept before. (I remember PBS pledge drives, but I haven’t seen one in 20+ years.) It’s likely they haven’t donated directly to a charity before, or if they have it was through something like a Facebook fundraiser or a text-to-donate-$5 campaign, not an old-school membership drive. Heck, I can’t think of another non-profit org I support that gives out physical donation gifts these days. (Hmm… Mozilla might have done stickers recently.) We may be getting into generation-gap territory here. 😅

      NPR around me still does them, but I think “turns on the actualfax radio in the car” is also a sign of being old.
