WJFF's on-air summer pledge drive starts Thursday, June 20th!  Thanks to a tremendous show of support, we've received donations totalling almost 1/3 of our $50,000 goal.  This is a tremendous leg up and should help us end the drive early, but only if YOU call in with your pledge once we go on-air!  If you'd like to make your pledge early, offer a challenge to other listeners, or if your business can donate a gift to the drive, please call us today at 845-482-4141 and find out more.  Thanks!  We can't do it without your help.

Many of WJFF's governing bodies are in the process of seeking, vetting and appointing new members.  Visit the "Contact/About Us" section of this webpage to learn more.

At a special meeting of WJFF's Board of Trustees on Thursday, April 25th, Sonja Hedlund outlined a plan to re-build WJFF's Board.  As the first step, longtime volunteer Glenn Wooddell and prior Operations Manager John Bachman were appointed as interim board members.  Along with Sonja they will work to appoint a nominating committee who will present a slate of board members and officers at the June 2013 board meeting.

Thanks for the great photos, Ted!

The WJFF Board of Trustees would like to announce that Adam Weinreich, WJFF Assistant Manager will be the Interim Station Manager effective 5:00pm April 12 until further notice.

The Board would like to thank Adam for his willingness to step up to this challenge. We look forward to working with him in the days to come.

Please join the Board in their appreciation.

The National Federation of Community Broadcasters (NFCB) is a huge collective of great radio stations just like WJFF.  Once a year they all meet to share ideas, information and get to know each other better.  This year, WJFF will send two ambassadors to the NFCB conference: Interim Station Manager Adam Weinreich, and Interim Board President Sonja Hedlund.  The two of them are sure to come back from this conference filled with great new ideas and lots of know-how.  Stay tuned for more information about their trip!

All of us at WJFF are saddened to learn the news of Walter Keller's passing.

Walter was a longtime friend of WJFF and a devoted volunteer beginning with his call-in program "The People Talk Back" and continuing through this past spring with "First Class Classicals."

Our thoughts and hearts go out to his family. WJFF will air a program in tribute to Walter in the spring. Friends and listeners who wish to contribute a verbal or written remembrance to this program should call WJFF at 845-482-4141.
