Tanya,
I don't have that info. Noel or someone else may have. Anyone in 
RFU-Membership know?

Since Word UP Radio is also part of this, it also needs to have two 
renewed members, whoever they might be.

BTW, this is yet another example where if we had more volunteer input 
and help from programming groups, instead of relying on the same few 
overworked volunteers to do it all, it might solve many of our issues.
