Urban Unrest

A notice for KPFT volunteers/programmers:

Dear Friends,

You are invited and highly encouraged to set aside some time for a forthcoming HR training to deal with issues of racism and discrimination. As a community of diversity, KPFT and Pacifica are in a unique position relative to the larger community. We are, in many cases, exposed to alternatives not found in our own neighborhoods. We have an opportunity to model possible positive futures and to grow through our work together.

Here is the opportunity. The Center for Healing of Racism will conduct a special workshop for the KPFT staff and board on Friday evening January 4, 2008 and Saturday, January 5, 2008. The Friday session will run from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.The Saturday session will begin with a continental breakfast at 8am, followed by sessions from 9am until around 5pm. Lunch, beverages and snacks will be provided. The location will be Outreach Missionary Baptist Church, 5055 Bellfort at Jutland, near the intersection of Cullen and 610 South Loop. The seats are padded and comfy; you can bring your own pillow or comfort items, if you wish.

Did I mention there will be door prizes? I mean something way beyond a KPFT tee shirt or coffee mug. Details will follow soon.

Did I mention this will count toward your participation in KPFT trainings as outlined in the forthcoming volunteer programmer contracts recently approved by the Program Council?

Did I mention this is an opportunity to stretch your comfort zone and to grow?

Please take your calendar out now and write these dates in - January 4-5, 2008. Friday evening, 6:30 - 8:30. Saturday from 9 to 5.

RSVP’s should be sent to Evelyn Bethune or Susan Young, for LSB members; Eddie Garcia or Duane Bradley for staffers. RSVP by Friday, December 28.

Thanks for your time and dedication to the mission of Pacifica. You make a difference.

Peace,
Duane Bradley
