We want to hear from you whenever we disappoint you, surprise you, or impress you. We know our members care about Louisiana Public Broadcasting in a special way, and we make a point to listen to their opinions carefully. Be sure to let us know when you have a comment or suggestion.

Program Guide

All members contributing $45 or more per year receive 12 monthly issues of LPB's program guide, VISIONS. This comprehensive viewing guide lets you know each month what's new, what's changed and what's extra-special on LPB. It provides highlights and behind-the-scenes information about our organization, and keeps you informed about LPB news and exclusive opportunities for members.

Your Mailing Label

The mailing label on your monthly program guide is an important source of information. It shows you your membership number and the expiration date. If you include the entire label with any correspondence, it can help us serve you better. Also, be sure the address on your label is complete and accurate. Make any needed corrections and return it to us at Friends of LPB.

It appears that these two labels are addressed to the same person. Yet our computer, a stickler for detail and consistency, would fail to realize that. If a viewer uses the name Big Bird one time and pledges later as B. Byrd, the computer registers them as two memberships.

If you're receiving duplicate copies of VISIONS, look at the mailing labels. Please send us both labels, indicating which is the correct or preferred one, and we'll correct our listing as quickly as possible.

Please give us six weeks notice and be sure to give us both your old and new address or just attach your VISIONS mailing label in place of your old address.

The first issue of your program guide is usually sent within 3 weeks of receiving your membership contribution. Thereafter, you should receive your guide before the first of each month. If you don't receive it, please call us right away at (225) 767-4214 or (800) 272-8161, ext. 4214 and let us know. We will help you track down the problem and in the case of lost or missing guides, send you a replacement copy.

Annual voting for the Friends of LPB Board of Directors election each fall. The Board of Directors sets the policy and direction for Friends of LPB. Members must be present at the Annual Meeting to participate.

Sometimes we have a special gift or premium as our way of saying thank you to members for their support. If you are entitled to a gift and it has not arrived after six weeks, please let us know. Sometimes our premiums require re-ordering. If this should occur, you'll receive a note from us letting you know the anticipated delivery date.

Be assured that Friends of LPB does not sell or exchange its mailing list with any commercial concern.

When we use lists from other organizations we try to eliminate the names of current members from these lists, but inadvertent duplication does occur. If you receive a membership solicitation from us please accept our apologies and share it with a friend or colleague who is not a member.

Your contributions to Friends of LPB are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law in the United States.

U.S. residents who make donations and who receive premium gifts above the de minimus value established by the IRS will automatically receive a receipt issued at the end of January for all contributions made during the previous calendar year.

If you have specific questions or comments about other matters, you may write to Friends of LPB, 7733 Perkins Road, Baton Rouge, LA 70810, or call the various departments listed below.

If you're going to be in Baton Rouge, we invite you to take a tour of the station. We'd love to have the opportunity to meet you and thank you in person and give you an inside look at how your public television station operates. Please call or write Member Services so we can plan for your visit and make arrangements to include you in a full studio and technical tour.

As a member you make a big difference in the programming and services we're able to provide for the residents of our state. You can see your membership dollars at work every time you tune in. We hope you enjoy participating in Friends of LPB, and that you feel a special satisfaction in knowing you are making a personal commitment to a television service that prides itself in being the very best!
