Joel--

I think it's a great idea.  Full Circle? My garden?   I'm up for it and will
present it to FFS at our Wed night meeting April 12. Will send copies of
this to Vic Bedoian, Sue Kern & Rick Flores.  Eva Scow is coming by to plan
her concert at the Bonner on May 12--I'll ask her if she could get a group
to play.

Pat,

Hopw about a benefit concert for the KFCF transmitter?
We raised nearly $3000 at my brother's Katrina
benefit without even charging a cover!

I will be happy to have my band play and to get other
bands as well.

FYI, I am doing a benefit concert on Sunday, April 30
with four bands, including mine, for the Chong Yang
family, victims of that horrible trailer fire. We
could do something for the transmitter fund in late
May.

let me know what you think.
Joel

Hi,
 
Things are coming together on the Randy Sharp KFCF benefit concert in
Visalia.  I inquired about the Rotary Theater which is operated by Visalia
Unified Schools and is available on Saturday June 17.  It seats 327 and is a
nice art deco building.  The rent is $450 plus security guards and a tech
person which are required.  My estimate, based on three hours of use, is
$700 to $750, which includes the insurance coverage from our broker.  The
musicians will probably want $500 each - that's not final yet.  We can sell
food and drink but not liquor.  I talked with Dennis Melkonian, Randy's tour
manager and it sounds ok to him.  He will talk to Randy today about these
details.  Dennis thinks we should charge $20 for tickets (at least).  Does
this sound all right to everyone?  If so I will proceed to make the
reservation.

Vic, I don't know Randy and what kind of draw he has, but do you think we can sell at least 150 tickets at $20 each between now and then?  And when you say the musicians would want $500 each, how many musicians are we talking about?  Somehow I thought Randy would be donating his time.

Hi Folks,
 
A benefit event for the transmitter is being organized by Bill Trayler - the
details are coming together.  All the hard work is being done for us.  I'll
have more info on this soon but so far here's the deal:
 
What:  A musical event featuring local musicians including :  Ted Nunes
and/or Richfield, Blake Jones, some of the folks from Sippy and Old Guzzler
(60's music), and others, and a multi-media film presentation between acts.
Food is being donated by Veni Vidi Vici and possibly the Landmark
restaurants.
 
When:  May 6 roughly 3 to 6 pm
 
Where:  Club Fred
 
We will need volunteers to help take money, staff the tables, and other
chores, and someone to talk a little about the station.  Bob Lambert is
doing a poster and promotion announcement.  One suggestion was to charge $8,
which sounds ok to me as there are a lot of things happening that weekend in
town.
 
That's it for now.  More when I know.  I love the spontaneous help we're
getting from the community - it's very energizing.
 
Vic
