No, folks, I’m not talking about anything related to the World Cup. And I’m happy dancing here, and no, that’s not a delayed reaction from the Davis Music Festival.
Rather, I am very pleased to announce that Davis Media Access (DMA) has successfully wrapped its fundraising campaign Celebrating 25 Years of Community Media in Davis. Our must-meet goal was $20k in support of our programs and services, and as of June 27, we exceeded our stretch goal of $25k. That money keeps KDRT on the air for another year, and also helps offset some of the cost of producing intensive local election coverage and supporting youth media projects (yes, we do an astonishing amount with relatively little money).
For all of you who have participated and helped shared the word, thank you for your generosity. Thank you for believing the power of small media and local content to make a big difference in our community. Thanks for making DMA a forward-thinking community center and a unique resource in our region. I’m taking a little time off this summer but look forward to coming back with more news in August.
With gratitude,
Autumn Labbe-Renault , Executive Director
