"KPFK TOWN HALL MEETING SEPT. 17 2011

KPFK’s Local Station Board is organizing a Town Hall Meeting for Saturday, September 17, 2011. The main objective of the Town Hall is to create a dialogue between Station Management and the listeners, and to provide a forum for listener ideas and concerns.

NOTE: "This activity is required by the Pacifica Bylaws."

[[ or else it would not occur, right ?...

communicating with anyone who works or manages or any one who does programming at this SUBSCRIBER SUPPORTER station is impossible at any other time it seems from experience over many many years....

since emails, voice mails, or attempts to contact any one at all at OUR paid-for station is NOT happening or allowed. This may be the 1 time to be present with management, but with someone In Control at that end MC'g and monitoring...

Some few will be able to at least voice some concerns that are otherwise so easily and consistently IGNORED by all who are suppose to listen...not only to each other ...but to the rest of the loyal $$$hareholders too.....

oh well, in case anyone wants to go, here is what has been
advertised so far]]


"WHERE: Immanuel Presbyterian Church, Westminster Chapel (3300 Wilshire Blvd. @ Berendo)"

[this is in Los Angeles near the Vermont MTA rail station at Wilshire/Vermont - within walking distance from there ]

"TIME: To be announced "

[[Or call the station at 818 985 2711 X 0 during open hours 9 - 5 pm weekdays only

or see website http://www.kpfk.org. ]]

If anyone wants to invite others to also attend and make a good showing of questions, confrontations, compliments, concerns, and 'requests for freedom of information' from the non-profit that we already have all paid for - over so many long years...

... only to still be excluded from any decisions or any knowing of what or how anything is decided - for us...
and accounting for our monies...
how it's spent...
who gets in to positions...
who gets chosen as a 'volunteer' programmer...
whatare other benefits of being an on-air programmer actually - what perks there are [often un-admitted or kept oh so secret to listeners].

Presumably there will NO FEE charged for this event, tho that was not clearly stated in the advisement received and presented above.

A request for more OPENNESS and time + places-for -shareholder- inputs on a regular basis will also be addressed and presented and any similar comments appreciated.

"The American People", the KPFK audience,the Pacifica Shareholders also have come to Distrust those that 'govern' all we own, we who partake in KPFK and it's doings.

We want to improve it, and we want to be PART of all of it ... more than in 'just give us your money' ways.

hope to see you there ! loudly, sincerely, actively, and loyally too.
