May 2012 - KBOOlletin 
Our Spring Member Drive
Starts this Thursday, May 3 
 
KBOO is the radio station you love because we have many thousands of members and volunteers who each take a little responsibility for keeping it going. And during May, you can (continue) do(ing) that by contributing during our Spring drive. Check out some of what's being planned.

 

Every year we must raise our entire budget anew. Member support provides over 80% of our total revenue which allows broadcasting freedom not enjoyed by commercial outlets. We're hardly extravagant in our spending and this money pays for very basic operational expenses like production and engineering equipment (and repairs), utilities, keeping the business side running as well as the staff who coordinate it.

This May we'll raise $75,000 to ensure that we have the cash needed to get us through the rest of this fiscal year. 

Volunteers Wanted

If you've ever wanted to take a peek behind your radio, our membership drive offers you a great opportunity.

Membership drive means high energy time in the building as several dozen volunteers work closely together every day to help raise some money to keep the station operating.

What show do you LOVE to listen to? You could schedule a volunteer shift during that time and meet the host/s you hear each week, as well as talk with other KBOO supporters who share your interests.  No prior experience is needed to offer some help; we'll train you.

Interested? Email our Volunteer Coordinator Ani to find your perfect opportunity. Or call her 503.231.8032 x213.
