CONWAY, Ark. (Arkansas PBS) — Arkansas PBS is nearly halfway through a 100-day new member challenge in conjunction with the Susan Howarth Foundation to gain 3,000 new members. If the challenge is met by June 7, Arkansas PBS will receive $20,000 for programming expenses. Anyone interested in becoming a member should visit myarkansaspbs.org/donate or call 800-662-2386.
