Volunteers Helping NCPR

Without the generous help of North Country Public Radio volunteers, we would be lost. An on-air fundraiser can require upwards of 100 individuals to answer phones. NCPR volunteers form their own special community; some return every year to help in fund drives. Some are familiar to all our listeners as music hosts and announcers. Others help arrange special events in their communities. Some climb mountains for us when a transmitter has gone on the blink. Others are our "Baker Street Irregulars," feeding us news and information from around the listening area.

2008 Volunteers of the Year

Special service warrants special recognition. Each year we select one or more Volunteers of the Year to honor the work that they have done to support the stations. The 2008 award was given August 16 at the UpNorth Music Concert at Asgaard Farm in Au Sable Forks, NY. The recipients were Margot Ernst, John Ernst, Rhonda Butler Brunner, Michael Ellis, Dick Fay, Nancy Keet, Carol Pearsall, Meredith Prime, Harriet Singer, Tricia Winterer, Tony Zazula, Barbara Glaser, Stephen Hopkins, Linda Cohen and Sarah Cohen for their work as volunteers on the Adirondack Steering Committee.

Recipients from previous years include:
