ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS AND KUVO RADIO CELEBRATED THEIR VOLUNTEERS 

Volunteers of Rocky Mountain Public Media (RMPBS and KUVO) were celebrated with a delightful evening of music, food, libations and fun at the studios of RMPBS in Denver.  Staff members of both KUVO and RMPBS took over all the duties so that they could serve and thank volunteers for their remarkable 19,845 service hours in 2016 -- valued at $376,934!!
The program was short but meaningful with special recognition to ITHA GABRIEL who received KUVO's Jim Barnes' award in honor of her long history of service to KUVO.

Longtime RMPBS volunteers received special recognition from the crowd.  The audience applauded these dedicated volunteers:
  • Teddi Wiest-Kent (3,400 lifetime hours)
  • Judy Lester-Smith (3,635 lifetime hours)
  • Ruth Smith (6,629 lifetime hours)
  • Pat Hoeft (9,000 lifetime hours)
