6/19 Weekly volunteer boo-lletin

Hello KBOO volunteers,

This is your fellow volunteer, Melati. Starting today, I will be sending weekly emails to all volunteers. This project is an attempt to help KBOO staff better communicate with volunteers and show hosts so please be sure to read this weekly bulletin!

Can't make it to the studio? Don't worry, just check your email for KBOO events and news and weekly and event specific volunteer opportunities. In addition, you can check the volunteer page for more information and opportunities (kboo.fm/volunteer).

Your time and energy are greatly appreciated!

KBOO's new website is in its final stages and we want to show off all our great volunteers! We have a couple volunteer photographers that will be taking photos around the station over the next few weeks. So be sure to smile and keep an eye out for yourself on the website. If you haven't done it already, you can also upload a photo of yourself for your user profile picture. And don't forget about our Flickr photo group here: http://flickr.com/groups/775788@N20/
