Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa to all of our
wonderful KKCR listeners and supporters!
As most of you know, we just completed our semi-annual membership drive on Monday, November 17. While we fell short of our original goal of $75,000, the community rallied in the last 2 days and helped us hit and exceed a revised goal of $60,000. We also proudly added 130 new members to our ranks.
There are so many people and businesses to thank, it's hard to know where to start, so here we go...
On behalf of the KKCR staff and the Kekahu Foundation and Board, I am sending out a very heartfelt "Thanks!" to the following:
- All of the local businesses and individuals who donated food to help feed our volunteers during the drive
- All of the local businesses and individuals who donated services and goods to be offered as premiums to callers pledging support
- All of the Wave Riders who supported us financially throughout the drive
- All of the Underwriters who provide financial support on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis
- All of the volunteers who answered phones, helped bring in food and supplies, take out the trash, water the plants, and all the other things that help to sustain and maintain KKCR
- All of the volunteer programmers who helped keep our phones ringing throughout the drive and who went on air to help support other programmers during their shows
- The paid staff who went above and beyond the call of duty to make it a success
- Everyone else who provided support in so many different ways
In many cases, supporters fell into multiples of the above categories. Experiencing my first KKCR membership drive, I was thorougly impressed by the great team effort and cooperative spirit shown by everyone. What a great community we have on Kaua'i!
Again, Mahalo Nui Loa for your support!
A Hui Hou,
Jerry |

KKCR’ S TALK STORY SERIES is an ongoing cultural preservation project focusing on Hawaiian musicians who share their stories and songs for present and future generations. Wala`au or Talk Story is translated as reminising or communicating, which perfectly captures the spirit of the project.
This edition of Talk Story is entitled Ka`a`mea, or the winds of change. The focus is on the innovators - those local musicians who have taken traditional Hawaiian music and instruments to a new level.
The artists for this year's series include Grammy winner and nominees: Ken Emerson, Paul Togioka and Jake Shimabukuro.
Recorded live in the studios of KKCR and funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Click here to donate and receive Talk Story series. Non-commercial radio stations may email kkcr@kkcr.org to request a copy, free of charge.

In the wake of Hurricane `Iniki’s devastation in 1992, community members gathered to develop a plan to stay connected, informed and safe. Their brainchild was Kaua`i Community Radio.
In the summer of 1997, KKCR broadcast its first signals island-wide. The small community-based, non-profit radio station connects all the remote communities on the isolated Garden Island. KKCR is committed to providing relevant, accurate, timely information during times of crisis. It’s also dedicated to representing the unique character of the island community.
KKCR’s program schedule reflects the broad, rich spectrum of Kaua`i’s community. Musical genres include vintage and contemporary Hawaiian, Jazz, Alternative, Reggae, World, Classical, Rock and Blues. Kaua`i Live features in-studio performances from local and visiting artists on Sunday evenings.
The Public Affairs programming includes weekly call-in talk shows, a Hawaiian Entertainment Calendar, Community Calendar, and Arts & Entertainment Calendar. Special interest programs include gardening, island pets, health and wellness, and teen radio.
As a commercial-free, non-profit entity, KKCR’s survival depends on support from its community – local and global. Please join KKCR’s `ohana (family). To support listener-powered community radio, please click here. |
