This column was originally published in The Davis Enterprise Aug. 26, 2010.

It’s nearly September and as we all know, that heralds a season of intense activity in our community. In addition to a full complement of activities and programming here at the media center, I’m pleased to announce the following events:

K-D-R-T-O!

Each second Sunday, those philanthropic Davis Odd Fellows organize a bingo benefit for a local non-profit. We’re thrilled that Davis Media Access/KDRT 95.7 F has been chosen as the beneficiary of the Sept. 12 bingo at the Odd Fellows’ Hall, located at 415 Second Street in Davis. Community members, friends, and family are encouraged and welcomed to come for an afternoon of fun playing Davis bingo, and benefiting community radio. For more information please visit http://kdrt.org.

We thank the Odd Fellows for their continued partnership and wonderful support of community organizations.

$5k challenge donation - seeking to match by June 30

Posted Wed, 06/30/2010 - 5:30pm by Autumn Labbe-Renault

Davis Media Access is conducting its annual spring fund raising drive, which ends with our fiscal year on June 30. As you'll see in the progress bar to the right, we have a ways to go.

We have, however, received a $5k challenge donation that we will receive if we raise matching funds by June 30. If you have not donated, now would be an excellent time!

Why donate to DMA? DMA helps people tell their stories, to share what’s important & what connects us. We create community and foster free expression using media. We support youth media, and provide hands-on training and technical support for various media projects. Donations to DMA directly support grassroots radio station KDRT, local election programming on DCTV, and  part-time staff who contribute a wealth of expertise and program oversight at the media center.

We cannot do this work without community support. DMA is a non-profit organization, and our work is made possible by your support and donations. If you like what DMA does, what we stand for and the opportunities we provide, we ask you to please list your name as a supporter. Your support helps us keep these services alive and available to all

Davis Media Access. Keep the Story Unfolding.
