Redmond Washington | Be a Seed for Change

Our small Progressive Radio Seattle Team is expanding with new people bringing new ideas and options to the table.

For starters, the Team decided on a name change: We are now Progressive Radio Northwest (PRNW). We’ve heard from enthusiastic progressive radio listeners from every corner of the region and wanted our name to reflect the scope and intensity of the public commitment to bring progressive talk BACK to free public airwaves and beyond.

Here are some activities coming up where you can help spread the word about PRNW: (and have some fun):

· Hempfest (http://www.hempfest.org/) is this weekend and it would be great to have a team of progressive radio enthusiasts on hand to pass out some oversized postcards we’ve created headlined, “Don’t let progressive radio go up in smoke!” We need someone to coordinate the effort and folks to hand out the cards on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Let us know your preference. Respond to the progressiveradionorthwest email below with “Hempfest” in the subject line if you can participate.

· Northwest Progressive Institute Tenth Anniversary Picnic, next Thursday, August 22.

Celebrate NPI’s first decade as you enjoy games, music and some serious picnic eats. King County Executive Dow Constantine and Port Commissioner Courtney Gregoire are scheduled to speak. You do not need to bring your own food, but bring lawn chairs or blankets or whatever you’d like to be comfortable. Thanks to all who already signed up to volunteer at the PRNW table – we’ll be handing out information about progressive radio.

EVERYONE is welcome to come enjoy the picnic: Thursday, August 22, 4:30 to 7:30 pm, Perrigo Park, 9011 196th Avenue NE, Redmond, Washington 98053. For information: http://www.nwprogressive.org

Our web site is almost ready: Thanks to the hard work and talents of our volunteer webmeister, Rennie Sawade, an area software engineer and web developer, our web site is almost ready for prime time. Check out Rennie’s Twitter feed @ProgressiveGeek or visit http://www.progressivegeek.com/
