MEMBERS' SUPPLEMENT

This month's feature: Rainforests

Help Needed

Want to work on a radio show about environmental issues? The PERC's "Earth Embassy" show runs on CKCU every two weeks. It's half-an-hour of interesting guests, environmental activism, whale music and anything else we want to put out over the airwaves. The previous producer of this show has moved away, and we would really like to keep it alive, but we need more volunteers. You don't need experience—just ideas and enthusiasm. Give us a call: Alysia at 594-8748 or Janna at 234-8795.
