We finished 98five Sonshine FM’s Radiothon yesterday with a total of $169 519. Even though Radiothon is officially over for 2012, we believe the total will rise a little in the coming days.

While we didn’t reach our target of $175 000, our supporters gave everything they could to achieve over 95% of our goal. We were humbled by the continued generosity of our supporters towards securing our financial future.

If you’d still like to give you can give online, or call the 98five Sonshine FM office during the week on 9313 0800.

In the mean time, check out a selection of photos of a handful of the people I spoke to during the past week and click on any photos you’d like to see a little bigger.

I’ve already posted a few photos from the first day of the 98.5 Sonshine FM Radiothon last week. I thought I’d show you a few more of my guests throughout the week.

We finished the Radiothon on Friday evening with a total of just over $175 000. Even though Radiothon is officially over for 2011, we believe the total will rise a little in the coming days.

While we didn’t reach our target of $215 000, our supporters gave everything they could to achieve over 80% of our goal. We were humbled by the continued generosity of our supporters towards securing our financial future.

If you’d still like to give you can give online, or call the 98.5 Sonshine FM office during the week on 9313 0800.

Remembering Christmas with Colin Barnett

ColinBarnett.jpgColin Barnett is the leader of the Western Australian Liberal Party, Member for Cottesloe and Premier of Western Australia. In the past he has been head of the Western Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and a lecturer in economics at Curtin University.

Since entering parliament in 1990 he has held a number of positions including Minister for Resources Development and Energy, Minister for Education and Minister for Tourism. He also served as the Leader of the House in the Legislative Assembly during the Court government.

It was my pleasure to have Colin Barnett as my guest during my Morning Programme on 98.5 Sonshine FM this morning.

We talked about Colin’s early Christmas memories and discussed his hopes for Christmas 2008.

Colin Barnett has been a great supporter of 98.5 Sonshine FM over the years so it was good to be able to show him around our new studios.

You can hear what the Premier had to say along with his Christmas message for Western Australians by clicking the play button on the audio player at the bottom of this post.
