Tammy's KVMR volunteer career began approximately 2 years ago, when she came in to help answer phones for our thrice annual membership drive.

Contrast that with a volunteer database that contains over 700 volunteers, and you start to get the picture. Volunteers are the voices you hear on the air 24 hours a day and 7 days a week....

EARTH DAY
We Have Met The Enemy, And He Is Us

Earth Day 2008 offers an opportunity to once again examine how we relate to our mother ship, and what we can do in our own lives to ensure that it continues to function.

KVMR is available to everyone in our community

I shared a wonderful experience this evening with an entire hall of friends and neighbors. These were folks I have seen around town for years; at the market, the Horticultural Society or town hall meetings. Some I know well. Some I had met before. Some I met for the first time tonight. They were all lovely and welcoming. We packed boxes for Nevada County residents who are currently abroad, serving in the armed forces. ...
