a retirement celebration with Peter Sagal
Zoom
Monday, May 11

  • When: Monday, May 11 @ 11:00 a.m. Alaska time
  • Where: Live on Zoom

How to join:
NPR+ and other qualifying supporters will receive a registration link by the end of this week*. Once registered, you’ll be able to submit questions through a link in the Zoom event description.

NPR+ supports the essential journalism you hear on shows like Up First. It also supports the silliness of Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! So click “Give Now” to donate today, and we hope to see you on the 11th.

*If you would like to attend and don’t get an email invite by May 8th, but give more than $8 a month or $96 a year to The NPR Network or your local station, reach out to us directly for a registration link at NPRSpecialEvents@npr.org, and we’ll send you the link! If you’re still waiting on your NPR+ invite, contact Ashley (ashley.kuac@alaska.edu) and Kyle (kyle.kuac@alaska.edu) for assistance.
