[PAA-Discuss] My Missing KPFT Ballot

[Wendy Schroell]

Brenda, the station is in fund drive right now so I would not count on 
the Membership Department having time to read email.  You need to call.

Robin Lewis is very professional, nice and efficient.  She will be able 
to tell you in a few seconds.  I would email her too just to follow up, 
but I thought she used membership at kpft.org

I would also call Tucker.  Here are her numbers:
713-526-4000-ext 312 - message
832-498-5527 - cell

I really don't think that there is a consipiracy to deny you a vote 
because you have been critical - that would be a lot of extra work for a 
shorthanded staff.  The sooner you can get to the bottom of this the 
sooner they can get you a ballot - I would go ahead and call, and 
followup if you don't hear back right away.

Again, thank you so much for caring enough to go through this frustration.
