We’ll run through some of the nitty gritty rules and regs, talk about the various opportunities for training and growth here, get some hands-on practice in your volunteering area of choice, and get you on the schedule to start volunteering.

KFAI is Rocking Events All Summer

While the weather stays warm, we have a lot of great events cooking up here at the station, some of which could use your help.

August 28th and 29th – KFAI Live at the State Fair

KFAI is headed to the Minnesota State Fair to do two whole days of special programming live from the Education Building. Listen in from 8am-8pm on both of those days or stop by our booth for some KFAI goodies and good times.

August 30th – Last Days of Summer Blues Cruise

The Last Days of Summer Blues Cruise is a fundraising event developed and hosted by the KFAI Board of Directors. On Friday, August 30th, celebrate the end of summer with a beautiful trip down the Mississippi on the KFAI Blues Cruise aboard the Magnolia Blossom Riverboat, which departs from Watergate Marina, 2500 Crosby Farm Rd, St Paul, MN 55116.

Tickets and more information are available at https://kfai.org/cruise/.

Boarding begins at 7:00 pm, embarks promptly at 7:30 pm, and returns to shore at 9:30 pm. The night includes light, refreshing snacks and a cash bar, with entertainment from T he Bambi Alexandra Band, hosted by Emcee Lady J Griot (Jacquie Maddix) of KFAI’s Songs of the Soul.

September 8th – KFAI at Imagine Cedarfest

There’s a block party in Cedar-Riverside and you’re invited! From 11am-5pm on Sunday, September 8, the streets of Cedar-Riverside will close to motor traffic and fill with artists, vendors, food trucks, and community organizations. KFAI will host a booth there with activities, music, and more! We are looking for a few volunteers to help the day go smoothly. Email [email protected] to sign up.

September 12-25 – Fall Member Drive

It’s not too soon to be thinking about our fall member drive, coming up in just under a month. As usual, we’ll need all hands on deck for those two weeks as we work to meet our fundraising goal. The biggest need is for people to answer phones during the day (you’re welcome to take an overnight phone shift, but it is not required). If you can’t take the time to be in the pledge room for a phone shift, making a meal to share with the team is a great way to contribute.

KFAI’s Record Sale is August 3rd!

Browse KFAI’s record collection and see a little of what goes on behind the scenes at a community radio station! Support the station, learn how to get involved, and meet some of the fabulous volunteers who make KFAI the station you love. Stop by anytime 10am-2pm on Saturday, August 3rd.
