Volunteer News 13 - 2013



The word from the PBS 
station manager Adrian Basso
Sunday was the final day of our annual member drive and we are delighted with the outcome – it was the best yet. Our theme this year ‘Romance your Radio’ was spot on, and you could really feel the love in the air for PBS. We had hundreds of volunteers around the station over the last couple of months who gave freely both their time and energy to take calls, stuff envelopes, wash up dishes, drive to the post office, say a few words on air and much, much more. Sometimes starting before the sun was up, or staying here until after midnight – and many bits in between. The place was always alive with people who had PBS in their hearts.


So on behalf of the station, I would like to give a big cheerful thank you to each and every one of you and hope to see you at the wrap party Wednesday night. 





Note: If you helped out but didn’t get an invite, please email mara@pbsfm.org.au for the party details!

Fine Print Policies and Procedures


It is important for all volunteers and staff to be familiar with this. See the policies and procedures here and http://pbs.org.au/policy. The Policies and Procedures Handbook ensures that PBS remains in safe compliance with the Codes of Practice and other relevant legislation.
