Hope you have a really good weekend….beginning on Monday, the 28th, I’ll be taking a week off and would like for you to welcome Action Jackson as he fills in for me during vacation time….he’s a veteran broadcaster in this area..and we’re happy to have him at Magic….don’t forget to donate at least $10 to the disaster victims in Japan…go to www.redcross.org …for more information…talk with you later…Lee

We are all shocked and saddened to see the devastation and suffering in Japan from the recent earth quake and tsunami and now they’re having to deal with major problems from a leak of radio active material from a nuclear plant.  The American Red Cross is doing what it can to assist and has already sent 10-million dollars to help out …so let me urge you to visit our website for how you can assist the Red Cross…just a $10 donation would help tremendously.  Visit www.magic989online.com …thanks….Lee

Hi there….haven’t talked with you via blog for several days, so I thought I would touch base with you to see if you are taking part in our 30-30-30 promotion here at the station.  30 listeners doing 30 good deeds for 30 days which we hope will become a year round event for you and Magic 98.9.  Just got signed up to be an organ donor as my good deed…there are so many people waiting for transplants and the least I can do is be a donor after my death if it will give  life to someone.  Thanks for your support and for listening to my show here on Magic ….it’s great to be with you while you get things done for your workday…..take care…Lee
