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!
