WERU Birthday Thanks:
The WERU 21st Birthday Party Open House Potluck and Sale was a smashing success!
Hundreds of WERU listeners, members and volunteers came together last Saturday to shop, eat, dance, party, play music, socialize, take station tours, give interviews live over the air and listen to all the great bands we had. It was truly a WERU community event… and to top it all off the weather was wonderful and we raised just under $2,000 in donationas!
Special thanks goes out to all the volunteers who organized and managed the event and thanks must go out to all those who donated jewelry and music for the sale and to those who brought food for the potluck (check out that cake!).
WERU would like to thank the following for their memorable performances: Ousman Jorbateh, The Campesinos, Stiff Whisker and the Driftwood Kids, and all those who played the open mic
WERU would like to thank Liberty Graphics for printing the latest sweat shop free, all organic, long sleeve WERU shirts (logo, shown right, design by local artist Kimberleigh Martul-March). They look Great!
We would also like to thank MacLeod's Restaurant in Bucksport and Duffy’s Restaurant in East Orland for supplying the event with great delicious food.

Dog Wants Out Famers' Market Music Tour:
Hi nice folks at WERU:
I hope that you’ve heard something of the Dog Wants Out Farmer’s Market Tour that’s going on this summer in partnership with WERU Community Radio, the Unity Barn Raisers, and the Maine Community Music Project.
In a nutshell, our band is playing hum along songs for the farmer’s market crowd at local food events this growing season. WERU is the promotional partner for the band and tour.
The website is www.dogwantsout.org.
Thanks for your help.
-John Zavodny
Dog Wants Out is: Rob Constantine on folk keyboards (more on that later), Anna McGalliard, originally from Hickory North Carolina on banjo, Sara Trunzo singing and playing the mandolin, and John Zavodny on guitar and vocal.
