WYCE needs your help with volunteer community service project. On Saturday, June 14th, we'll be gathering a team of volunteers to clean up litter at our transmitter site. The more volunteers we get, the quicker the work will go. Please bring gloves and trash bags. The clean-up shouldn't take more than an hour or so -- then you can head down to the Local First Street Party for some free food and music! To sign up, please visit grcmc.org/volunteer, or simply show up at 1:00 on Saturday afternoon. The transmitter site is located at 2843 Woodward Avenue, behind the Goodwill store on 28th Street, just west of US-131.

"Wednesdays At Wealthy" is a weekly event at Wealthy Theatre. Every second Wednesday of the month WYCE rocks out with a musical event. In June, we welcome Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart, presented by Hopcat. There is an innocent quality to Stacey Earle's voice, it seems honest and clear. Her husband and musical counterpart Mark Stuart adds his warmth to their union. Together, they share the lead, the writing and the road. The FREE show starts at 7:00PM on Wednesday June 11th at Wealthy Theatre. Information about this and other "Wednesdays at Wealthy" events is available by calling 459-4788 Ext 130 or on-line at www.grcmc.org. Wednesdays at Wealthy is a service of the Community Media Center. Additional support for this concert provided by Pilar's Cafe.
