Send a message to Irish emigrants in Melbourne!

Barry Gough and Jim Cusack of the Connolly Association

The Connolly Association in Melbourne was set up in the mid 1950's. It has been broadcasting to the Irish community in Melbourne since 1976. For more on the Connolly Association, click here. 

On Saturday 16 June, the Connolly Association will be broadcasting a special show in order to raise funds to help keep the show and the 3CR radio station on the air.

All we ask is that you give a small donation to the show and we’ll read out your brief message. It can be a message to your mother, father, sister, brother, friends or anyone else in Australia. It can be funny, stupid, angry or sad, we don’t care. Just give us a few dollars to help keep the Irish voice in Melbourne on the air.

We’ll broadcast your message which will be live at 9:30am Melbourne time (12:30am on Friday night/Saturday morning Irish time).

It’ll also be streamed live online at http://www.3cr.org.au/3CR_streaming and we’ll be podcasting the show afterwards so you can send the link to anyone who misses it.

All you need to do is follow these two steps:

Email your message to theconnollyassociation@gmail.com; and

Donate whatever you can here http://www.givenow.com.au/cause442

Thank you in advance for your support.

Please support an Irish voice in Melbourne

A Chara,

3CR and the Connolly Association are looking for your help to keep the voice of independent radio on the air. 

The annual radiothon takes place on Saturday, 16 June 2012 and this year 3CR is aiming to raise $210,000.

The Connolly’s will go to air at the usual time of 9.30 am to 10.00 am. (12:30am on Saturday in Ireland)

Ring and make your pledge to keep 3CR and the Connolly Association on the air.

The target this year for the Connolly Association show is $3,300. As well as the usual prizes for lucky listeners we’ll be doing cheerios to overseas (for a donation).

Invest in independence make a tax-deductible donation: 

•  Ring us on Saturday 16 June at 9.30am - Phone 03 9419 8377 to pay by credit card;
• Go online at www.3cr.org.au;
• Send a cheque or money order payable to ‘Community Radio Federation Ltd’ PO Box 1277 Collingwood 3066.

3CR is now 36 years old and in times of reality TV, shock jocks and media monopolies, a community voice is hugely important. The Connolly Association is proud to have been with 3CR for nearly all that journey on air and now you can follow us on facebook, stream our show live on computer and send us your thoughts on e-mail to theconnollyassociation@gmail.com 

Yours sincerely

Jim Cusack
