Good luck also to the new group of trainee announcers who start training next week. There are still a few gaps at reception and places available on the Rock-a-Bye Baby team (This Thursday Oct 6) and also on the Open Day.
If you are interested in any of the roles below, or if you’ve got any questions give me a call on 8415 1067, or email hr@pbsfm.org.au. Or if you have a friend or family member who’d like to get involved tell them to get in contact with Mara.
3PBS LIBRARY PROJECT
We still need people to join the wonderful library team. It’s fun, stimulating, you learn lots about music, and at the same time make a major contribution to PBS by helping to catalogue our vast collection of music. It will be a fantastic asset to the station once complete. If you’d like to get involved (training provided), email or call Mara hr@pbsfm.org.au.

3PBS OPEN DAY
We’ve had a great response to the callout for volunteers for our October Open Day but we still need a few more people to help make this important day a success. We still need Tour Guides, BBQ cooks, greeters, stall-helpers, etc. In particular we need a few PBS Announcers to be around on the day to meet your adoring fans and chew the fat about music and all things PBS. It’s a fun day, an important day on the PBS calendar and a great opportunity to meet and catch up with other PBS volunteers, staff and our listening community.
