You're going to. Welcome back to Catholic Answers Live. Thank you so much to everybody who gave that first hour. We crossed the 30,000 mark. I don't know if when we tally it all up

it'll go over 35,000 if it does then we're more than halfway there now if it doesn't

we're close to halfway there we because this a $70,000 match for the day.

We've never started our pledge drive that way before.

I am Cy Kelle at your host.

Our guest this hour is Joe Heshmire We're going to do a little bit of fundraising

and a lot of answering questions. Think of the next hour as a little bit of fundraising

and a lot of answering questions and you'll have a picture of what it what we're

about to do. To run this show with all these folks

with Edgar who just came in the studio a minute ago with Zach over there running the

board with Andrew running the video with Joe and I doing what we do it cost $225,000 every three months to do that.

So we come to you and ask you for that funding, $225,000 and we are fully funded for the next three months.

We won't come to you and ask you for your help again until February.

So this is your opportunity.

Maybe you're thinking about your end of year giving.

There are, usually that's folks who are in the higher income brackets who start thinking

about what they're going to do at the end of the year in order to make their donations

before the end of the year and if you are thinking about that we're not going

to ask you again for your support between now and the end of the year.

Maybe it would be a good time for you to pick up the phone and call 88291-8,000. If you want to look at the books, we are a highly rated

non-profit that makes our books available. If you'd like our president to call you, if you'd like David, the director of development here to call you and let you know where

the money's going and what we use it for. We'll be happy to do that.
