98.1 the River’s News Director Bill McClement has covered a lot of news stories for the radio over the years and has seen first-hand how families have been helped back on their feet thanks to the help given to them by you, as neighbors. The Mountain Area Chapter of the American Red Cross uses your donations to help these folks every year.

The Red Cross has called upon Bill to help rally your assistance for the victims of house fires and other natural disasters here in Western North Carolina by making a donation to the 2013 Mountain Area Chapter of the American Red Cross Heroes Campaign.

Each year, the Red Cross helps hundreds of people in the region get back on their feet after disaster strikes. All of the money donated to this year’s fund stays right within a 16 county region of Western North Carolina. The Red Cross uses these funds to provide temporary lodging, food, clothing and other essentials for families burned out of their houses or apartments. Victims of flooding and other disasters also receive help.

Donations may be made in any amount, big or small. You can make out a check to: the AMERICAN RED CROSS, and mark Heroes Campaign in the memo portion.

Send the check to:
Bill McClement
Asheville Radio Group
1190 Patton Avenue
Asheville, NC 28803.

You may also drop off a donation at our offices during business hours, Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Or, you can make a donation by credit card. Thank you very much for your help! Please tell your friends about this effort.

PRESS RELEASE:
After teasing the announcement with daily messages since last Friday, the Rolling Stones this morning confirmed what most people had assumed: they’re hitting the road one more time. In a video posted on their YouTube channel at 9:00 a.m. ET sharp, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts are shown engaging in a video conference, with each saying hello in turn. Wood is shown turning away from a canvas he’s painting, which bears the names of five cities: Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Boston and Philadelphia. “Well, it’s about time, gents,” Wood says. “I’ve been waiting for this call.”

The video then cuts to concert footage of the band performing “Start Me Up,” then displays the “50 and Counting” Rolling Stones Live logo above the Twitter hashtag #StartMeUpWeddesday. Wood’s voice wraps things up with the tease, “See you at rehearsal.”

A statement released shortly after the video debut confirms that the tour will begin at the L.A. STAPLES Center, and will also includes dates in Las Vegas, and in Oakland, San Jose and Anaheim, California. Though there’s no date yet for the L.A. show, the rest of the tour runs through May and early June. In addition, original guitarist Mick Taylor will make appearances during the tour, as he did during the Stones’ recent limited road trip.
Tickets for Oakland, San Jose, Toronto and Chicago go on sale beginning Monday, April 8 at 10:00 a.m. local time at RollingStones.com. Citi cardmembers will be able to snag presale tickets beginning Friday.
The Rolling Stones also confirmed last week that they’re playing a headlining set this June at the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival.
