[sako4 at comcast.net]

The Mendocino Environmental Center (MEC) - KMEC Radio 105.1 FM is having its annual meeting this Saturday, September 10, from 2pm to 5pm. 

We invite all friends of public radio to attend. 

Our address is: 106 W. Stanley Street, Ukiah, CA 95482 

We have a new board of directors, and there are a lot of exciting things happening, including a new antennae on Cow Mountain which will greatly increase the range of the station. Our broadcast range currently cover the Ukiah Valley. 

Many of our listeners pick up the show from the webstream or the internet -- we have a powerful digital platform that was built by Sid Cooperrider and Govinda Dalton. .Clips from our shows have found their way into national media. 

As a verifiable measure of the size of our station's audience, please see our Youtube channel. We have up to 34,520 hits for a single show. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGayl9uNW4A 

Shows on our full schedule run the gamut from the following: news and politics, kids and family , spirituality and healing, education, arts, society and culture, legal advice, government and organizations, including Mendocino County Board of Supervisors meetings (live). 

KMEC Radio also broadcasts a very wide range of music, including kids doing hip hop live on-the-air. Many of our music shows have been simultaneously broadcast on Mendocino Access Television (channel 3). 

Meanwhile, the MEC continues to fight for peace and social justice, including environmental justice. Especially in these times of climate change and irreversible destruction to our ecosystems and planet, nothing could be more important. 

Specifically we are supporting campaigns to protect the last remaining stands of redwood forest. We are determined to end the use of herbicides in Mendocino County forests. We are equally determined to end the use of toxic herbicides and pesticides in city parks and other public places. 

Our work is especially notable when you consider that we at the MEC and KMEC Radio are all volunteers. We are approximately 250-300 members strong. And we do all our work on a $20,000 budget. 

The recently elected president of our board of directors is the very capable Lara Anderson. 

Again, you're invited to the annual meeting of the MEC and KMEC Radio 105.1 FM -- your community, your community radio station..
