Spotlight on Service
KLRC-FM in Siloam Springs, Ark., provided more than 2,000 holiday stockings to the 101st Airborne Division 3-187 Infantry Battalion with the "Stockings for Soldiers" drive. Helping spread holiday cheer to servicemen and women, the station promoted the campaign for weeks and got audience members involved at a two-hour live broadcast from a local bookstore.

Once tallied, you can use the findings to form an outreach effort to educate your elected officials, community organizations, broadcast audience and others on the public service your station provides each and every day.
