Blunt Youth Radio Presents: DINNER IS SERVED!

March 24, 2004

DINNER IS SERVED! is a public supper that Blunt Youth Radio is organizing as a fundraiser. The dinner will include delicious appetizers, entrees, and dessert prepared by members of Blunt and local restaurants.

The event takes places Saturday, April 3, at the USM Campus Center in Portland, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Tickets for the dinner are $5, and they can be bought at the door or in advance (preferable) by contacting Claire Holman at 767-1785 or by e-mail cholman@usm.maine.edu.

Blunt Youth Radio project has successfully reached out to teens from the greater Portland area since 1994, giving them the opportunity to work in radio and learn about all aspects of audio journalism. Youths receive training free of charge as they learn to produce a weekly, public affairs radio show on WMPG-FM, the community radio station of the University of Southern Maine.

Everyone is welcome to attend this event; it is a public dinner so invite your friends along! Proceeds will help fund the group's trip to the National Federation of Community Broadcasters' annual conference and Golden Reel Awards ceremony in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Thank You for your support and we hope to see you there!
