KPFK TOWN HALL MEETING SEPT. 17

KPFK’s Local Station Board is organizing a Town Hall Meeting for Saturday, September 17, 2011. The main objective of the Town Hall is to create a dialogue between Station Management and the listeners, and to provide a forum for listener ideas and concerns.

NOTE; \"This activity is required by the Pacifica Bylaws.\"

[[ or else it would not occur, right ? communicating with anyone who works or manages or any one who does programming at this SUBSCRIBER SUPPORTER station is impossible at any other time it seems from experience over many many years....

[[ since emails, voice mails, or attempts to contact any one at all at OUR paid-for station is NOT happening or allowed,.

This may be the 1 time to be present with management, but with someone In Control at that end MC'g and monitoring,

[[ Some few will be able to at least voice some concerns that are otherwise so easily and consistently IGNORED by all who are suppose to listen...not only to each other ...but to the rest of the loyal $$$hareholders too.....

[[ oh well, in case anyone wants to go, here is what has been

advertised so far]]

WHERE: Immanuel Presbyterian Church, Westminster Chapel (3300 Wilshire Blvd. @ Berendo)

[this is in Los Angeles near the Vermont MTA rail station at Wilshire\/Vermont - within walking distance from there ]

\"TIME: To be announced \"
