Fort Collins Youth Broadcasting

Yes, it’s that time again.  Time for you to express your support for KLIK Radio!  This is for real money, though.  And to get our hands on $5,000 (out of a total $1,300,000 that Pepsi is giving away), we need your votes!

It’s very simple to vote for KLIK.  Simply visit http://www.refresheverything.com/klikradio and click “Vote!”  Want to get reminded daily to vote for us?  No problem, just send an e-mail to pepsi@klikradio.org and we’ll e-mail you a friendly reminder every day to vote for KLIK.  (This trick also works with your cell phone.)

On an unrelated side note, we’re putting the final touches on our Bohemian Foundation grant application for new equipment this summer.  Keep your fingers crossed, it’s the last summer Jake has off to help us! 🙂

Thanks for your support of KLIK Radio!

There are four big pieces of news today that FCYB would like to release.

1. It is with sadness that we accept the resignation of Kelsey Barnes as president of the board.  She only served with us a short time, but she felt she wouldn’t be able to meet the demands of the position and balance it with her school work.  She will be staying with KLIK Radio as a DJ, and may assume the role of volunteer coordinator.  More information on this as the story develops.  In the meantime, the FCYB secretary is accepting nominations for the position between January 11 and January 19.  Voting will take place between January 19 and January 23.  Nominations can be e-mailed to nominations@fcyb.org.
2. Jake Wood (remember him?) has been donating time from Boston to develop a really cool web interface for our SAM Broadcaster application.  Members will soon be able to upload music from home, categorize their music into different genres, and much more.  The interface was developed due to the foreseen need to be able to manage the music database while people in the studio use the application to broadcast.
3. A grantwriting committee is being developed!  It is currently being headed up by Peter, and Jake will be advising and steering the grants in the right direction.  We hope to apply for two grants: one from the Bohemian Foundation for equipment and capital upgrades, and another from Pepsi as a part of their “Refresh Everything” campaign.  We need talented writers to help with both of these applications, and we’d love to see some volunteers come out of the woodwork to help out with this.
4. Our annual report is coming very soon!  We just have some compiling and updating to do, and it will be released right here on the FCYB blog.  Check back in the next few days to see it!

Thanks for your continued support of Fort Collins Youth Broadcasting, and keep listening!

We are glad to ring in the new year with some fresh volunteers and a board that is coming along.

Communication is becoming a goal for everyone to help solve problems everyone has recently encountered. One way we are striving to keep everyone informed and in contact is by creating a Volunteer Coordinator position within KLIK! This position has not been filled yet, but once it is, communication between everyone can be regulated and contact information updated as volunteers come and go.

Another position that we are hoping to fill is the Fundraising Coordinator. Right now, this is what we really need: a person whos main focus is fundraisers.

Neither the F.C. or the V.C. positions have been filled, but we are planning for more new volunteers for 2010, so they will hopefully get filled and help the organization grow and become more organized.

-Kelsey Barnes, President
