[KFCF Friends] KFCF Transmitter

Wed Apr 5 15:19:28 PDT 2006

Hello KFCF Friends,

Here is an update on the state of our transmitter and upcoming events:  

So far we have raised $6000 toward our goal of $20,000 for the KFCF
Transmitter Fund.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Keep it coming.
Right now we're still operating at low power.  Thanks to emergency repairs
we have a better signal now than in a while.  Our new transmitter has been
ordered.  Thanks for your patience.  Coming up this weekend are two
fundraising events that will be fun and informative.

Evening with Uncle Bill - Fundraiser for KFCF 88.1 FM

What:  BBQ & Potluck Dinner, Magic Show, Poetry, Music, White Elephant
Auction, and Much More
When:  Friday, April 7, 6-10 P.M
Where:  Visalia Friends Meetinghouse, 17208 Ave.296, Visalia

You may be aware of the painful fact that KFCF has suffered lightning damage
to its transmitter and is only able to broadcast at a very low power these
days. This is a disaster for those of us in the South Valley who are
devotees of listener-sponsored free-speech radio. They need to raise $20,000
for a state-of-the-art back-up transmitter, and here is your chance to
donate and have a great evening as well! Come one, come all! Donations of
good stuff for White Elephant Auction welcomed.

6 PM to 7:30 PM : BBQ ( to die for) by our own Graciela Martinez + Potluck 

7:30 PM: Magic Show : Uncle Bill and Boswell

8:00 PM : Poetry Reading from the " Giant Catfish" - Uncle Bill + open mike
for poets, musicians , stand-up comedians, songleaders, funny little kids
that fall on the floor and make everyone laugh, etc. Bring kazoos,
tambourines, anything! Expect to sing along.

9: 00 PM or after we run out of entertainment: Golden Oldies Dance Dance
Dance. Come and cut a rug with some oldies but goodies from the 1940's
through the 1970s. Remember The Andrews Sisters? Credence? Karen Carpenter?
Glenn Miller? Les Paul? The Champs?

9:30 PM or thereabouts: Silent White Elephant auction ends. Door prize
drawing (we can use donations that - anyone know a restaurant that would
donate a dinner for two?)

10:PM: Good Night Ladies! Don't forget your shoes!

For more information call Uncle Bill at 559-782-9265.

An Evening with Aaron Glantz, author of How America Lost Iraq
