WFHB FireHouse Broadcasting

WFHB Community Radio and The Bloomington Storytelling Project are  calling on storytellers to tell their true stories LIVE at our next storytelling gathering, to be held in Brown County.
 
The event will take place on Saturday March 6th, from 7-9pm, at the Muddy Boots Cafe in Nashville, Indiana. And folks from Brown County are encouraged to come out and share their tales.
 
Stories can, of course, be funny, silly, strange, sad, adventurous, or otherwise grand. The only rules are that they must be true and take less than 15 minutes to tell. If you cannot get involved yourself, ask your friends to share their best stories, then come out and help them share.
 

(The following statement was read into the record of the Waldron Task Force during a town hall meeting on Tuesday, January 26th, 2010, by WFHB Board President Mark Need)

Over the past few weeks, our community  has discussed the financial difficulties faced by the Bloomington Area Arts Council (BAAC) and the effect of those difficulties on the future of the Waldron Arts Center. Though representatives of WFHB have spoken informally with many of the principal parties in this matter, the station has not yet issued a formal statement or presented its own position. In general, the effect of the crisis on the future of WFHB, which operates from space adjacent to the Waldron, has not been mentioned publicly. What little has been said about the station’s role in this matter has been positive —- there is consensus that the station is an important music, arts, news, and public affairs source, and a center and hub of information by and about our community.

You can help those suffering from the devastation caused by the earthquakes in Haiti. Below  are some of the aid sites recommended by IU's Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, which is providing a local collection site for relief supplies.

Of particular need, according to CLACS:

Wound dressing and bandages
Rehydration packets
Chloroquine (anti-malarial)
Non-perishable foods

IU CLACS is located at 1125 E. Atwater in Bloomington, and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
