Marin IJ: West Marin’s treasured public radio station is standing strong
The Marin Independent Journal showed up in a big way for KWMR West Marin Community Radio this week, with the Editorial Board weighing in on recent funding cuts, a striking cartoon by George Russell, and a multiple page spread in their “Support and Shop Local” advertising supplement.
Round Up: “Tend to…”
I was pondering the meaning of what it means to tend to something. There are two meanings. One is to apply one’s attention to a matter, and to care for something. The other is to be inclined to do something.
In both cases this rings true loud and clear at KWMR thanks to all of you who have raised your monthly giving or made contributions to help KWMR in the wake of losing our federal funding…
