Hi Everyone,
This is a list of things we specifically need volunteers for to help
with in preparing for the Radio Free Urbana barnraising, the barnraising
itself, and the IMC all-ages, no-smoking first floor performance space's
grand opening.
Please reply to the barnraising list --
Rfu-barnraising at lists.chambana.net -- or to the specific contacts
mentioned below if you can help with anything on this list or just show
up to help as indicated.
Through the efforts of dozens of volunteers, we've come very far toward
putting another community radio station on the air here in
Urbana-Champaign, but we're coming down to the wire and we need all the
help we can get over the next week to show our barnraising visitors just
how active this town is and why we're such a media hotspot.
Volunteers for these tasks are needed to prepare for the barnraising.
* Email this message to anyone or any list that may be able to help

Local people attending the barnraising have a special $45 suggested
donation for the barnraising, including meals. Remember that no one will
be turned away due to financial considerations. You can register online at:
http://www.prometheusradio.org/urbana/
Or show up at the door, starting Friday morning, Nov. 11.
This will also be the grand opening of the IMC's new performance space,
as well as the rest of the IMC's first floor, with a 5-band show for $5
on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 7pm to midnite. Come by and check out the
progress we've made as we party while continuing to build the station.
Then tune in to WRFU on 104.5 FM on Sunday at 5pm for the first
broadcast and a sampler of all the great low-power community radio
you'll be hearing on Radio Free Urbana.
Thanks for your help!
