[KFCF Friends] Deadline nearing for Board nominations

[KFCF Subscribers & Friends list]

    Want to get involved with the only community radio station in the
    Central Valley? Candidates are being sought for four open seats on
    the Fresno Free College Foundation / KFCF Board of Directors.

The Fresno Free College Foundation, owner/operator of KFCF 88.1 FM, is 
seeking qualified applicants to its board of directors. Subscribership 
to KFCF in the last fiscal year or direct donation of $25 or more to the 
Foundation by members as of August 31, 2005 is required for eligibility.

We are seeking member/subscribers with financial planning, nonprofit
organization, independent media and/or event organization skills to
serve three year terms on our board of directors. The board meets once 
monthly. Enthusiasm for the mission of small "d" democratic governance 
is a must, and applicants will stand for member election to four open 
seats on an 11-member board of directors in November.

The Fresno Free College Foundation has served the Central Valley
community for more than 30 years as a free speech advocate and
supporter of arts and education. As a grassroots community
organization, the Fresno Free College Foundation accepts no corporate 
grants or Corporation for Public Broadcasting money for the operation of 
KFCF. It is associated with radio station KPFA in Berkeley, Calif., but 
is officially independent of it and produces its own programming aimed 
at a listening area reaching from roughly Turlock to McFarland, and into 
Sierra and coastal mountain communities. It is also a member of the 
National Federation of Community Broadcasters and the Grassroots Radio 
Coalition.

In addition to operation of KFCF, the Fresno Free College Foundation
provides its 501(c)3 umbrella to local organizations including the
Fresno Poets Society, Ananda Fund and others.

If you are a member/subscriber of the Fresno Free College Foundation
and KFCF, support free speech and believe in improving grassroots
community radio, please consider running for a seat on its board of
directors. The deadline for nominations to be received at the KFCF
office or postmarked is September 30, 2005.
