2 !images/JACKsmall.jpg! Thank you to everyone who donated during last night's Chicago Jack Summit! With your help, we reached our goal of $1000 to help keep WNUR on the air for another year! And a special thanks to all the DJs who came out to make it possible. If you missed the show, you can download it in the "mixes":http://www.djsangre.com/mixes section. And if you donate $10 by Thursday, you can get a clean recording of the 5-hour mix without all our talking and begging for money on it. Just call 847-491-9687 and tell them you want to donate to Streetbeat. Then ask for the "Jack Summit Mix."
