Dear Supporters,

Thanks to you, we're "stayin' alive" and keeping the good music flowing. Here's hoping you have a great holiday season and a successful 2009.

We're reading a lot in the news how the recession is hitting non-profits hard. Heck, a coalition was formed in Washington to "help charities weather the financial crisis"- one suggestion was employing the "Obama Model", that would "use social networks to broadcast a unified plea to the public"- hey, we're all over that, let's UNIFY, and PLEA 'til it hurts!

I really liked this one: from Jim Dinegar, president of the Greater Washington Board of Trade. “Let’s create a message: ‘Give.’ Give your time. Give your money. Give your stuff. It doesn’t have to be a whole lot more complicated than that.”

You are doing your part for efolkMusic, and it really makes a difference. Want to do more? I bet you can't guess what our great gift idea is this year: Give the gift of music, a tax-deductible "Gift Membership" to the music fanatic in your life- they'll receive all the benefits of membership, including access to our member MP3 library, the 100-song MP3/CD sampler and more....

Thanks again!

Chris Frank
CEO, etc.
