WRCM highlights local events, grant support and literacy program
Summary
Hosts of the Wisconsin Rapids community program announced a grant to support the show, a $1,500 matching opportunity, upcoming Chamber and job‑fair events, library programs, and encouraged support for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and local nonprofits.
The community‑focused program used its segment to relay local news and events: hosts announced they received a grant from the Encourage Community Foundation to support production and asked listeners and local businesses to consider contributing to a $1,500 matching grant to expand programming.
Hosts promoted a Wisconsin Rapids Chamber of Commerce legislative breakfast scheduled for March 26 at Mid‑State Technical College and urged residents to attend prepared, asking respectful questions of elected officials. They also promoted a Careers Unlimited job fair set for April 1 at Lincoln High School and listed McMillan Memorial Library programming including baby story time on March 31 and an elementary art display through April 2.
As a community‑interest item, the hosts highlighted Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and a local United Way effort that uses roughly $30 sponsorships to deliver books to young children, urging listeners to consider small donations to support early literacy.
The program closed with reminders about local music, the Olio Center workshops, and a note that the hosts would continue with a Facebook Live for listeners after the broadcast.
