>>I don't know the ACT event (is that a GLBT event?), but SVPC is
>>hosting a
>>fundraiser for the people of Gaza on Feb 14 (funds to go to the AFSC
>>Gaza
>>relief effort), and a Sierra Club sponsored talk by Paul Gipe, an
>>alternative energy expert, at COS on Feb 27. Both of these are
>>opportunities
>>to get the word out if we are ready in time.

>>Hi Kim, hope you're well.  I'm writing because the KFCF Outreach
>>Committee has been thinking about trying to hold a series of local
>>housemeetings in some of the outlying areas where our signal
>reaches.
>>These would be to help publicize the station in those areas and to
>>provide a forum where local listeners/subscribers could meet some of
>>our Board members and/or programmers, ask questions, give us their
>>ideas on what they'd like to hear more of, etc.
>>
>>We're also in the process of launching a "news stringer" project
>>where KFCF would pay local reporters who have been trained and
>>certified if they produce a story on a local issue that is then
>aired
>>on the KPFA news.  We're also going to be talking about this project
>>at these local "housemeetings."
>>
>>It wouldn't have to be in someone's home, though that's possible
>too.
>>It could be in any local place, such as the Visalia Quaker Meeting
>>Hall.  We're looking for local people who could help us arrange the
>>location and maybe publicize it to their constituency and in local
>>places where such announcements could be posted.  We're planning on
>>having a table at the COS event on 3/7 (I think it's called "ACT"),
>>and it would be great to have something planned for down there that
>>we could tell people about at the table if they want to learn more.
>>
>>So, what do you think?  Would you be willing/able to help me plan
>>something down there, or do you have anyone down there you could
>>refer me to to help soet something like that up?  I'd really
>>appreciate any thoughts and assistance you could provide.  Thanks!
