The Down East Journal

This week on the Down East Journal, February’s Unnatural Resources Fair is just around the corner.  We’ll speak with the organizer about the Greenville event that promotes turning trash into treasure.  Plus, we talk with members of the band “Orleans” about their February 4th performance in New Bern. The Down East Journal airs Friday at noon on PRE Public Radio East, and Saturday at noon on PRE Public Radio East, News and Ideas Network at 88.5 WZNB New Bern, 90.3 WKNS Kinston-Goldsboro, 91.5 WBJD Morehead City, and 88.1 in Greenville.

Donate Your Clunker - Support Public Radio East

Is there a car in your driveway that you're tired of looking at?  Why not donate it to benefit PRE? Thanks to Car Talk's vehicle donation program, you can now clear out your driveway, support PRE and get a tax deduction-- all in one fell swoop. Here's how it works. Just l click on  Car Talk Car Donation Program. Then, fill out a simple on-line form or call the toll free phone number. Car Talk's national partner, V-DAC, then arranges to pick up of the vehicle and its title. From there, the car is sold (or dismantled), with the proceeds benefiting PRE. A vehicle donation is more than a way to get rid of an unwanted car. It also offers you significant tax savings.
