Wowzers… what a week. I don’t know about you, but I am bushed. I feel like I couldn’t catch myself coming or going. From marathon meetings to our End of Summer Barbeque, appointments in Sioux Falls, end-of-the-month accounting, the start of school and sports seasons… it has been a constant state of movement. And somewhere in the middle of all that craziness, something happened that stopped me in my tracks. The station received a thank-you note signed by so many people. Tucked inside was another little card with just two words: YOU MATTER. Two simple words. But wow… did they hit my heart. Our End of Summer Barbeque was supposed to be our way of thanking you. Thanking our loyal listeners, our clients, our friends and this community for continuing to support local businesses and local radio. But somehow, you turned it around on us. You gave us a gift we didn't even know we needed, a little confirmation that what we do matters, that the long days matter, and that the people we get to do it for matter even more. It made me wonder… how much better would the world be if everyone got a little card once in a while that simply said, YOU MATTER… Because you do. So from each of us at KDOM, to each of you, thank you. Thank you for the kindness you extend to us, for showing up, for listening, for laughing with us, for supporting our advertisers, and for continuing to believe in local radio. What we do is because of you. This week, when we were trying to make you feel appreciated, you somehow managed to make us feel pretty darn special instead. And maybe that's what community is really all about. YOU MATTER. And don't ever forget it.
Thanks a million plus two! -Laura White
