Coming in August
KKCR Be Heard!
Town Hall Meetings
One purpose of "Community Radio" is to provide a means for under-represented voices throughout the community to be heard - to encourage and facilitate a dialog that will help identify problems in the community and the resources that can help solve the problems. Since 1997, KKCR has invited callers and guests to its studio to express viewpoints, opinions, concerns, and ideas on a wide range of topics.
Now, KKCR has decided to come to you -- the community -- by launching a series of "Be Heard!" town hall meetings in or near your neighborhood.
The first installment of the "Be Heard!" Town Hall Meetings will focus on the economic downturn. In particular, we want to hear directly from the people affected most - the local families and residents of Kaua'i. It is important that our focus is "bottom up" and "grass roots" rather than "top down".
By gathering and summarizing important grass roots information, we want to provide a valuable perspective to each other and to the local officials, businesses, groups, and organizations who might be able to help. In short, we are looking to help uncover problems and match them up with the local resources that can help.
With assistance from some of KKCR's terrific community volunteers, the meetings will take place in August at four locations around Kaua'i, covering the West, the South, the East, and the North. Exact dates, times, and locations will be announced soon. Initially, we will record these meetings for broadcast at a later date. However, as the Be Heard! meetings continue into the future, we hope to broadcast them live over time.
We have also established a special KKCR Be Heard! website at www.kkcr.org/beheard, focused entirely on this new initiative. We invite you visit this site early and often. While there, you can help us get started by taking our short economic survey, send an e-mail with comments, follow us on twitter, post a blog, or submit an idea for a future series of town hall meetings. And, after the first set of meetings, you will be able to hear archived broadcasts of the meetings, watch archived video, or read the written summaries and participant testimonials.
I look forward to meeting, seeing, and hearing you at these meetings out in our neighborhoods!
Aloha,
Jerry

KKCR’ S TALK STORY SERIES is an ongoing cultural preservation project focusing on Hawaiian musicians who share their stories and songs for present and future generations. Wala`au or Talk Story is translated as reminising or communicating, which perfectly captures the spirit of the project.
This edition of Talk Story is entitled Ka`a`mea, or the winds of change. The focus is on the innovators - those local musicians who have taken traditional Hawaiian music and instruments to a new level.
The artists for this year's series include Grammy winner and nominees: Ken Emerson, Paul Togioka and Jake Shimabukuro.
Recorded live in the studios of KKCR and funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

In the wake of Hurricane `Iniki’s devastation in 1992, community members gathered to develop a plan to stay connected, informed and safe. Their brainchild was Kaua`i Community Radio.
In the summer of 1997, KKCR broadcast its first signals island-wide. The small community-based, non-profit radio station connects all the remote communities on the isolated Garden Island. KKCR is committed to providing relevant, accurate, timely information during times of crisis. It’s also dedicated to representing the unique character of the island community.
KKCR’s program schedule reflects the broad, rich spectrum of Kaua`i’s community. Musical genres include vintage and contemporary Hawaiian, Jazz, Alternative, Reggae, World, Classical, Rock and Blues. Kaua`i Live features in-studio performances from local and visiting artists on Sunday evenings.
The Public Affairs programming includes weekly call-in talk shows, a Hawaiian Entertainment Calendar, Community Calendar, and Arts & Entertainment Calendar. Special interest programs include gardening, island pets, health and wellness, and teen radio.
As a commercial-free, non-profit entity, KKCR’s survival depends on support from its community – local and global. Please join KKCR’s `ohana (family). To support listener-powered community radio, please click here. |
