Jim Griffin and the team over at AnnArborAlive have broadcast from their Ypsilanti studios for some time now, and it’s a pleasure to have them in Depot Town, as they’ve made this outstanding business/shopping district all the more so. Give a listen to their passionate brand of community radio, which offers up the best in music, theater, and more throughout the area.
Kudos to Wayne State University for their recycling efforts. Since 2006, the school’s Living Green Task Force on Environmental Initiatives has been working diligently ”…to protect the environment and enhance the campus.” WDET-FM, Detroit Public Radio, licensed to Wayne State, is doing its part, too. Join the radio station for “Recycling at Eastern Market” on Saturday, June 7, from 9am-1pm. Learn more about what you can bring to the event, and please participate, if at all possible.
Connecting the blind and print-imparied with vital information, the Detroit Radio Information Service continues to do magnificent work in the community. Volunteers read newspapers, magazines, and other material to listeners who hear the broadcast over special radio receivers that tune in this sub-channel of WDET-FM, Detroit Public Radio. I was a volunteer DRIS reader myself, and later was lucky enough to work as Volunteer Coordinator, where I met a host of wonderful people, including longtime director, Kim Walsh. The organization is celebrating 30 years of “Audio Information Excellence” in 2008, so consider supporting this important service by making a donation today.
