Rob's April Newsletter

here's what's new with cIro:we are proud to announce that our application for non-profit society status was approved, and that the “Campus-Community Radio Okanagan Society” was incorporated on feb 28th 2006. The board of directors are as follows: LucyRodina (UBC-O Student), Shane McLeod (UBC-O Student and UBCSU-O Radio Club Chair), Doug Cavey (UBCSU-O Representative), Bud Mortenson (UBC-O Administrative Representative), Cameron Baughen (Community Rep, Society Tresurer, andSecretary), Sarah Willard (Community Rep and Society Vice President), and RobMadu (Community Rep and Society President). This achievement is an importantstep towards FM broadcasting as it satisfies a component of the CRTC application process. A big thanks to Cam Baughen for his dedcated work in this area. One of the many next steps towards fm realization is to research and secure funding to purchase broadcasting equipment and operate the eventual station.
