Scenes from Radio Festival 2019:  All Our Stories represent

Hello from PBS HQ!
Well we've passed our on-air Radio Festival period, and we had an amazing team of volunteers helping out with the cause. It was a community effort! 145 volunteers helped take the calls and packed the memberships, and many more went on-air to spruik this station's positive attributes to the world. Listeners responded favourably and for June and into early July, a top team of volunteers are packing the rest of the membership kits. 
*****************************************************
A BIG THANK YOU to all who helped, and continue to help PBSFM. 

Would you like to help out at PBSFM? If so, we have volunteer opportunities coming up. Please read on for more information.
