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.

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 2006 award was given on July 29, 2007 at a special recognition ceremony at the home of Carol and Dick Munro on Bluff Island in Clayton, NY. The recipients were Bob Andrews for his work with David Sommerstein on the series A Year on the Farm; Maxine Quigg, Rosanne Weir, Kate Couch, Jayn Graves, Barbara Wheeler, and Karen Freeman for their work on the North Country Reads collaborative literature project, and Hilary Oak and Beth Robinson for their work co-hosting Open Studio.

Recipients from previous years include:
