November 25 2014

The harvest season in the fall as a time to give thanks. Actually, any time is a good time to give thanks. Professor Kozmo will be working overtime on Thursday so that our many volunteer programmers can enjoy time with family and friends. 

KWMR is grateful for the support from listeners and community members near and far. We are thankful for the time put in creating the interesting, entertaining and informative programming by our many volunteer programmers. 

I am thankful for the hardworking and caring staff and board of directors at KWMR. What a privilege to work with such fine folks. Also the Community Advisory Board for their insight and wisdom. 

We always say, "We can't do it without you," and we are not kidding. Please tell a friend or two about KWMR.

And you have spoken! As It Happens has returned to it's spot in the mornings from 7-8am (the repeat from the previous day). Thank you for your feedback! Keep it coming!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Amanda Eichstaedt

Station Manager/Executive Director
