$6,000 grant for Speakers Series and promotion of the arts which

for a future date. KPFA News reporter and

interested in holding workshops in the Central Valley to train
radio reporters in news, public affairs and documentary
programming for use by KFCF and KPFA. Dr. Littleton, the
Foundation office landlord, is willing to sign a three-year
lease for studio space in the same building. Campbell and

a lease agreement suitable for signing. Equipment continues to be
obtained for a new studio. A subscriber who wishes to remain
anonymous has offered to make a large donation to purchase
additional equipment. The old studio may continue to be used on
a part-time basis on weekends for music shows and in case of
emergency, but all local public affairs programming will be done
from the new studio. Program
Director’s report: Stover thanked the volunteer
programmers who made election night coverage a success,
particularly Mark Scalzo, who organized the coverage. A call
for volunteers to work election night was made to an email list
established for the volunteer staff. Campbell requested that
Board members also have access to the staff email list. Stover and Withers continue to
conduct staff training seminars and local programming is continuing
to improve. Equipment and transmission tests
will be performed at the Wishon offices before any lease is signed
to ensure a clear line of sight to the Meadow Lakes transmitter.
