Executive Director, Leif Goldberg, presented his annual report:

• The station has installed a new server that can broadcast from anywhere there is a signal. We could broadcast the Town Meeting from the Elementary School. Leif wants to schedule daily shows from local providers. He does not want to over populate our channel with national feeds, and he will be moderate. Emily suggested scheduling a show twice a week so daily broadcast differed. We could have students integrate it into school projects.

• Leif has upgraded our internet service to bring it into capacity with the new equipment
• Leif has the station on the coin-drop schedule
• The project on the Holocaust-related oral history of Curtis Whiteway of Craftsbury, has grown very big; Leif is
