8th Annual WNIN Gala - a tremendous success!

WNIN held the annual Gala on Saturday, January 24, 2009 and was an event enjoyed by 175 attendees who were greeted by David and Barbara Dial. Don Gonyea, NPR White House Correspondent mingled with all of the guests, gave a marvelous "state of affairs" presentation about his role as White House Correspondent and answered questions.

The evening was a great success -- the WNIN Jiffy Auction raised over $18,000 in support of public broadcasting programming and services.
