We have so much to look forward to in 2023, including our first fundraiser of the year taking place on Saturday, February 11th. This year, we are going back to our open-house format and hope you find the time to come by and say hi!

While we are at it, let’s take some time to reflect on the past year.

Some of our notable achievements include (in absolutely NO particular order):

• The gifting of 519 N. Bullard to Gila/Mimbres Community Radio: Janey and Suzie donated the entire building to us! Thank you so much Janey and Suzie!

• Being the recipients of the 30 Something Grant: A $30,000 grant that will be used to improve infrastructure both at the antenna and down here at the studio

• Another successful season of Music at the Silver City Farmers Market, with a big thank you to Nan Franzblau for her coordination efforts, a shout out to all of the volunteers that worked the table, and to all of the musicians that added to the ambiance of the Farmers Market – and to Leah Villareal, the Farmers Market Manager
