I also put in volunteer hours as a KZYX Board member. That's enough volunteer hours for membership status, correct?</div><div><br></div><div>Please confirm. I ask, because I want to be able to vote in the upcoming election, but I prefer not to contribute any money towards the station at this point until there is a change in management (Coate<em> and</em> Aigner).</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you.</div><div><br></div><div>John Sakowicz</div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Marco McClean" <memo@mcn.org><br><b>To: </b>"kzyxtalk" <kzyxtalk@lists.mcn.org><br><b>Cc: </b>membership@kzyx.org, discussion@lists.mcn.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Friday, December 26, 2014 3:44:21 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>[Kzyxtalk] Simple Living Membership<br><div><br></div>Here's the text of the letter to KZYX I wrapped around my check:<br><div><br></div>KZYX&Z, P.O.

Given my safe and wonderful and <br>good-natured track record in teaching and publishing and radio I <br>consider it to be a measure of your incompetence that my show was not on <br>KZYX within six months. That would have been late summer of 2012.<br><div><br></div>*Two thousand (2000) (!) regular $50 memberships don't add up to what <br>KZYX management scarfs up in personal pay, where none of the people <br>actually doing the work of radio are paid a cent, nor even allowed <br>autonomy in the content and operation of their own shows. That's one of <br>the things that I'm going to vote to change.<br><div><br></div>Happy new year.<br><div><br></div>Marco McClean, box 1497, Mendocino, CA 95460<br><div><br></div>_______________________________________________<br>Kzyxtalk mailing list<br>Kzyxtalk@lists.mcn.org<br>http://lists.mcn.org/mailman/listinfo/kzyxtalk<br></div><div><br></div></div></div><div><br></div></div></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
