 | Dear Donna, 

 Wimberley Valley Radio received excellent news since our last
newsletter, and swiftly filled two key positions.
 KWVH 94.1 FM Receives Burdine Johnson Foundation Grant
 The Burdine Johnson Foundation announced on Monday that Wimberley
Valley Radio's application for a grant had been successful.
Recognizing the importance of broadcast media to providing an early
warning in an emergency and assisting survivors and the community with
recovery, the foundation awarded $25,000 to the station. The Burdine
Johnson Foundation has a long history of supporting a variety of
worthy projects in Hays County.
 The funds will allow KWVH to acquire equipment and station software,
and more.

 Moving Forward to Stay on the Air
 On Monday, June 29, KWVH will be off the air for a few hours (weather
permitting) to replace the antenna borrowed from Austin Airwaves with
the model specified in the station's Construction Permit. Once the
preferred antenna is in place, the station intends to take steps to
stay on the air.After some early equipment problems, the station is
now on solid footing with its broadcast. The grant will allow KWVH
to purchase important equipment to make it easier to schedule new
content and communicate between the studio and the transmitter.
 Please let others know about Wimberley's new community radio station
and forward this newsletter to friends and family in the area.
