Let's warm up this cold month with a little social time. 

Saturday December 17th from 5 - 9 pm

The KBOO Staff invite you to join us for a festive evening of holiday merriment!
Hot spiced cider, cookies, and snacks will be provided by KBOO.  Additionally, we encourage people to bring treats to share, too.

Have you wondered what volunteering at KBOO is like?  Do you want to get more involved with your community radio station?  This is your time! KBOO’s Fall Membership Drive begins Thursday, October 6th, and runs through Saturday, October 22nd.

KBOO’s existence depends on membership drives as more than 80% of our funding comes from our listeners—this is, in part, what allows KBOO to be so independent and unique. We ask that all current volunteers at KBOO help with the drive, as we have more than 600 shifts to fill! With shifts available seven days a week, generally spanning the hours of 6 AM to 11 PM, there are shifts to fit anyone’s schedule.

The Annual Book and Record Sale is a wonderfully fun community event that raises a few thousand dollars for KBOO.  We are in the midst of preparing the books, CDs, DVDs, vinyl, VHS tapes and the like for the sale, and would love to have your help!

We also need help in picking up donated goods, and in helping to take the donations to our storage site, which helps to keep our studios free to make radio.

Have you been curious about how KBOO works? Do you have a little time to spend with us? If you want to check things out from the other side of your radio speakers, this is your time! KBOO's Spring Membership Drive begins Thursday, April 28th and runs through Saturday, May 14th, and we could really use your help!

We work hard together, so I'm very much hoping that you will be able to socialize, and share in some fun, too.  We will have refreshments, and the best company you could hope for! Please feel free to bring guests, and show off our station.

You are so important to KBOO-- we would not exist without our volunteers.  It would be great to see you convivializing for the afternoon... no hidden agenda, surprise surveys, or shifts to sign up for... just a little afternoon at year's end, so that KBOO can give back a little to the people who do so very much.

For much of this year, KBOO has operated without a Station Manager. In keeping with KBOO’s tradition of trying innovative ideas to address challenges, the board accepted a proposal by the staff to give collective management a trial run. 

KBOO is in the midst of our Fall Membership drive. There is no better time to get involved!

Whether you are already a KBOO volunteer, or brand new to the community, we need you to make this drive successful! We welcome all supporters to answer phones during the drive. This is a great way to meet other volunteers, learn more about KBOO, make friends, and have a great time while providing very important help to keep KBOO strong.

There are exciting things happening at KBOO-- and it's a great time to get more involved!  Here's a quick rundown of the current events at your community radio station.

A huge thanks to the volunteers who helped with the Winter Membership Drive!

It was a pleasure to meet many new volunteers, who jumped right in to lend a hand. I very much enjoyed introducing new people to KBOO and to the dynamic community of volunteers who make KBOO what it is.

During the nine day drive, your great help made the fundraising fun--- which near as I can figure, is most important within a community.  Your participation exemplified the addage: many hands make light work.

If you started volunteering during this drive, and would like to continue exploring the opportunities that KBOO has to offer, please attend the next volunteer orientation-- which is Saturday, February 20th, 10am - noon-- or talk with me for more information.
