Dear Friends,

New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. (NRPA) will be 25 years old in 2006;
Turbulence will be 10 years old. Despite the expansion of our projects, the
acceleration of our support for net artists, and the valuable resources we
provide in our networked_performance blog and New American Radio archive,
NRPA has seen a decline in its operating support. As a result, much of our
hard work forgoes compensation. Of equal concern is the dual role our server
is forced to perform: archiving work produced since 1996 and supporting new
commissions that require cutting edge technologies and later versions of its
current software. It
