Want to Impact Kids? Join the Volunteer Ranks for our Super School News program Join the volunteers for Super School News (www.rmpbs.org/ssn) and make a difference in a child’s life. This education-based program is the oldest, continuously running production of Rocky Mountain PBS. For over 30 years, volunteers have made it possible for 5th and 6th graders to produce 2-minute news broadcasts about their schools which appear on the air. This program introduces children to the world of broadcast news and, as a result, some of the Super School News alumni have gone on to careers in journalism and broadcast.

Volunteers will be assigned a school and work with a teacher and student team (1-2 coaching sessions at the school) to design their broadcast. Volunteer training is provided. In addition, volunteers will assist with assembling information (1 morning in August and December), orientation day (1 morning in September and January) and will attend the taping session at the Denver station.

We hope you will help sustain this legacy program. If you are interested in volunteering, please email [email protected] or Susan [email protected].

Volunteer News Calling Volunteers and Staff at KRMA and KUVO: Submit Your Nomination for Annual From the Heart Awards! Calling on volunteers and staff at the KRMA station and KUVO to nominate a very special volunteer and/or a special Denver staff member—those folks whom you have observed giving exceptional and cheerful service to the Rocky Mountain PBS and KUVO community.

The nomination deadline is January 16, 2017. The nominations need not be elegantly written, just heartfelt. You will be reminded again in early January of the deadline. However, we’d appreciate your submitting nominations early while the idea is in your mind. The brief and simple nomination form is available online atwww.rmpbs.org/heart or contact Susan Barber at [email protected]. Past recipients are listed below. While these individuals are no longer eligible for consideration, please use them as an example of what behavior exemplifies "From the Heart."

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 14, 2017 and join in celebrating the 22nd consecutive year of honoring volunteers one of our own and staff members who have given unselfishly of time and energy to support Rocky Mountain PBS (KRMA) or KUVO. The awards are scheduled to be presented in the Tele-conference room at the RMPBS station, 1089 Bannock Street on Tuesday, February 14, 2017 from 3–4pm.Volunteers and staff are invited to attend.

Rocky Mountain PBS and KUVO Thrive on the Generosity of Volunteers and Community Philanthropy Did you know that the generous and dedicated volunteers for KUVO and RMPBS donate their time and talent to the tune of approximately 13,000 hours annually? Those hours are worth $260,000! Each and every day, volunteers walk through our doors and give so generously. Volunteers allow Rocky Mountain PBS and KUVO to fulfill the mission of educating, informing and entertaining Colorado citizens.

Page 8: Volunteer Opportunities: January 2017pbs.bento.storage.s3.amazonaws.com/hostedbento-prod/filer... · 2017-01-03 · Contact Alex Forsett at alexforsett@rmpbs.org for more information

And, on Colorado Gives Day-December 6, 2016, Colorado folks donated approximately $226,594 to KUVO and Rocky Mountain PBS. Colorado Gives Day is the state’s largest day of giving. Generous donors gave a total of $33.8 million to 2,111 nonprofits in just 24 hours. This is an increase over the $28.5 million that was donated on Colorado Gives Day 2015. A portion of the $33.8 million raised came through KidsforColoradoGives.org, a new website designed specifically for young givers.

We cannot thank enough all the volunteers and donors who donate time and dollars so generously and believe in and support public service media!

Volunteers Provide Key Ingredient to Another Successful StoryMakers Year! 58 volunteers delivered another successful StoryMakers contest along with 640 talented student authors. Each year, Rocky Mountain PBS presents StoryMakers, a state-wide short story contest for 6th, 7th and 8th graders. The Douglas County Libraries generously supports this extraordinary program. Students submit original short stories of 700-1000 words. Finalists are invited to a one-day workshop at Rocky Mountain PBS where they enjoy writing sessions with Dr. Andrea Bobotis from Lighthouse Writers Workshop and Laura Frank, President of News, Rocky Mountain PBS. All finalists are also invited to a February awards luncheon where the winners are announced. For a list of 2016 finalists, go tormpbs.org/storymakers.

Volunteers carry the heavy load for this beloved program donating approximately 200 hours. They provide the administrative support and they pour over the hundreds of stories to determine the list of finalists. The StoryMakers volunteer corps is led by volunteer Lauren Simmons who graciously (and with good humor) steers the ship. It is such a challenging process because there are so many talented young authors in Colorado. But, it is rewarding work knowing that Rocky Mountain PBS is nurturing the next generation of storytellers!

On behalf of Rocky Mountain PBS, the StoryMakers’ students and their parents and teachers, we thank these dedicated volunteers and give a special shout-out to the Junior League of Denver who sent volunteers for all the judging sessions.

Thanks go to: Lauren Simmons – StoryMakers Chair Rita Lieberman, Carol Clark, Judy Lester Smith, Randall Smith, Debbie Sanders, Susan Rocco-McKeel, Teddi Wiest-Kent, Pat Hoeft, Joyce Jappelle, Holly South, Bill Juraschek,

Meet the SAM Board of Directors By Pat Hoeft, SAM Photo Chair The Station's Archived Memories (SAM) board and staff liaisons met on Monday, December 19, 2016 to continue the discussion of priorities and upgrades to the archives' procedures, the process fondly known as SAM 2.0.

The volunteer-run Station's Archived Memories committee is always eager to talk with interested new volunteers who have at least 8 to 10 hours per month to devote to this dynamic group.

The archive work is done primarily at KRMA during business hours though there is also at-home transcription for volunteers of the Oral History committee. Information is entered into the databases using Mac desktop computers in the SAM Office at Rocky Mountain PBS.

Training is detail-oriented but easy for PC users to pick up. If being an archivist sounds like fun (and it is definitely fun as well as rewarding) visit RMPBS.org, click Support Us, click Volunteer and follow the prompts to sign up to volunteer.

Tidbits Of History About Rocky Mountain PBS By Laura Sampson | Founder | Station’s Archived Memories Jazz is known as an international language of the soul. Jazz was highlighted on Rocky Mountain PBS when a spectacular award-winning local production, Jazz in Five Points, premiered on RMPBS on January 24, 2001.

Produced by RMPBS’ former award-winning producer, Lisa Olken, Jazz in Five Points was a celebration of Denver’s vibrant jazz scene. The program included never-before-seen film footage, archival photos, interviews and musical performances. Narrated by Rodney Franks of KUVO, the program won a CINE Golden Eagle Award, the Bronze Peak Award as well as the 2001 Colorado Broadcaster’s Association “Best Single Program” Award.

From the 1920s through the 60s, Denver’s Five Points was the most celebrated black business and entertainment mecca in the American West making it the hottest spot for jazz between Kansas City and Los Angeles. Denver’s jazz greats such as jazz pianist Joe Keel and classical pianist Marian Morrison Robinson shared their stories of jazz in Denver. Many of Denver’s jazz stars had jammed with such greats as Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton.

Numerous voices shared a unique perspective on the importance of jazz in Denver. Featured in the program were legendary jazz performers from the Ragtime, Jazz, Swing and Bebop Eras of the twenties through the sixties along with local musicians, singers and dancers, including Charlie Burrell, Marian Morrison Robinson, Ernestine McClain Smith, Beatty “B.C.” Hobbs, Joe Keel, Charlotte Cowens and Harriet Butcher who shared their extraordinary stories of life and living in Five Points. Other prominent individuals and neighborhood historians were Charles “Brother” Cousins, Norman Harris, and Charlene Jordan.
