Election Results-Board Seats Filled
The votes have been tallied and this year's election brings three first time Directors to the CMC Board. Taking their seats at this year's annual meeting (August 19th) will be Alicia Pavona, Kim Roberts and Olga Svereda. In addition to elected board seats, CMC's structure calls for a number of seats appointed by the board. At the July 22nd meeting, the board voted unanimously to appoint Jennifer Proctor, a GVSU film and video professor, to a three year term.
Please join us in welcoming them!
Also, though the election process, the CMC members approved Bylaw revisions presented for the membership's consideration. The revised bylaws take effect on August 19th and will be posted in the "Institutional Documents" section of our website.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the election. To see your board in action, feel free to attend any of the regularly scheduled board meetings throughout the year.
WYCE Friday Fence-Raiser, August 1st
WYCE needs your help! A hit-and-run incident in mid-July destroyed the fence around our transmitter site in Wyoming. To cover the cost of replacing the fence, WYCE will hold a special one-day "Friday Fence-Raiser" on August 1st.
With your support, we hope to make it a "50-50 Friday Fence-Raiser" -- meaning that 50 donations of $50 will cover the expense. Rockford Construction company has issued a challenge donation to get the process moving. So, stay tuned, and on Friday, August 1st, get ready to help us raise some funds and raise a new fence!
If you'd like to make a contribution prior to the Friday Fence-Raiser, please call Janet Zahn at 616-459-4788, extension 133, or simple click on the Donate Now! link.

Join us on Saturday July 26th from 1-3pm when filmmaker and GVSU Professor, Jennifer Proctor, will give a Workshop on Video for the Web.

Wealthy Theatre @ the LHAT Conference
...Talking about what goes on at Wealthy Theatre... quickly makes one realize how interesting a given day is, for us. My discussion went ten minutes over and I felt like we could have been there all morning.

Try out our new web stream(s)!
Hey there, YCE web listeners!
Our friends at local Internet service provider Iserv are trying out a new audio streaming system for us, that will allow you to listen from a number of different programs (no more relying on the Real Audio player).
We're just testing things out for now, but we'd like to know what you think.
Click here for a CD-quality MP3 stream (requires a fast connection).
Click here for a lower bitrate stream (if clicking on the CD-quality stream causes excessive buffering, snags or drop-out)
When you click on the link, your computer will ask you what program you'd like to use to open the file. You can choose any media player capable of handling an MP3 stream (WinAmp, Windows Media Player, iTunes, etc.). If you aren't able to connect in that way, you can also choose the "Open URL" or "Open Web Stream" function found in most audio player software and enter the following addresses:
http://shoutcast.iserv.net:8000 (CD quality)
http://shoutcast.iserv.net:8010 (lower bitrate)
Let us know what you think! E-mail kevin [at] wyce [dot] org (replacing the [at] and [dot] with the appropriate @ and . symbols) and tell us how it sounds.
