[Rfu-station] IMPORTANT Station News - workday and volunteering / open slots / rules

[Andrew Ó Baoill]

At our last station meeting we decided to hold a station workday. ALL  
members MUST attend the workday OR sign up for specific ongoing  
station tasks. As a volunteer-run station, we rely on members to step  
forward and take care of the many small tasks that keep the station  
running. You'll also remember that assisting with one of our working  
groups is a requirement of station involvement. Please see full notice  
below.

An alcohol container was recently found in the station trash-can.  
Please note that drinking in studio is against IMC rules, which  
require that alcohol consumption only be allowed in the building with  
approval from the Steering Council. Also, the station operator is  
responsible, under FCC regulations, for overseeing station operations,  
and must not be impaired in their judgement, so drinking while on air  
(or immediately before going on air) is generally incompatible with  
this role.

We continue to have various openings in our schedule - please  
encourage friends or colleagues who might be interested in joining the  
station to consider applying. In particular, we have a small number of  
evening slots available - Saturday and Sunday 6-8pm, Monday 6-7pm,  
Tuesday 9-10pm. Saturday and Sunday daytimes are largely empty, and  
Tue-Thur mornings (8-12) are empty.

WORKDAY NOTICE

WRFU will hold a workday on March 21st, to work on various group  
projects, from construction to recording station IDs. We also have a  
range of ongoing tasks, from email list moderation, to cleaning  
studio, to processing new music received, which need volunteer  
involvement.

As a volunteer collective, the station relies on YOUR participation in  
these tasks.

Please indicate on the sheet on the station notice-board whether you  
will be at the workday. If you will not, you must indicate what  
ongoing task(s) you are committing to within the station. (You are  
welcome to attend the workday and take responsibility for a regular  
task!)

Remember that active involvement in working groups is a requirement of  
participation in WRFU, and is how we stay on air. This workday and  
task sign-up process was adopted, at the station meeting on 2 March,  
as a means to ensure that responsibility for these tasks is shared  
fairly and transparently.
