A Million Thanks

Thanks to Assembly Member Mariko Yamada (D-4th), who presented us with an Assembly Proclamation honoring our 25 years of service, live on the air election night. Mariko was long ago a board member for this organization (in its DCTV days), and has remained a stalwart friend of community media.

To all the candidates and campaigns that participated in the June 2014 election. The candidate statements, debates and forums all become part of DMA’s permanent archive, as does the wonderful election-night show hosted by Andrea Jones and Lea Rosenberg. Thank you also to the wonderful volunteer crew (Tyler Shaffo, Cliff Gamble, Bryce Parker, Eunah Cho, Daniel Choi, Bill Lorfing) and our exceptional staff (Diane Dedoshka, Jeff Shaw, Alex Silva-Sadder and Darrick Servis) for a job well done. We’ll be back with programming for the Nov. general election, and local races and ballot measures.

We thank also our good friends at Music Only Makes Sense and the Davis Music Festival, as well as our new friends at the Sudwerk Dock Store and in bands The Lurk, Owlpaws and the Bottom Dwellers, for a spectacularly fun fund raiser May 22. There may be another event of sorts this fall…stay tuned! In the meantime, please check out the incredible event that is the Davis Music Fest4: davismusicfest.com. All profits benefit local school foundations!
