Bellingham Elks Support KMRE!
Thank you to the Bellingham Elks Lodge #194 for their generous donation of $2500! Thanks to David and Francine Kincaid, Janet Garmback-Barber, Bill Case. Representing KMRE are Leo Schumaker, Karla Newson, and Robert B. Clark. Bellingham Elks Lodge #194 was first established in 1891, and has been dedicated to giving back to Bellingham ever since.
More people are coming to KMRE with an interest in creating local programming, but we need more recording spaces! We plan to create two additional professional recording spaces by the end of the year– and this donation is a GREAT way to start that project! Thank you, to all the Bellingham Elks!

Volunteer Spotlight: Connor O’Boyle
KMRE News staff member, Connor O’Boyle, is interested in using his skills, and helping the community. He sat down with Connor Willis to talk more about what drives him to be a volunteer.
What makes you interested in journalism?
“I think some of my primary concerns right now are the development of AI, news about the climate, and what’s going on with Palestine. There’s a lot of misery lately, But there’s a lot of hope, and a lot of advancement and a lot of creativity. I love to follow the news involving entertainment. The Different ideas being expressed in video games and how video game movies are becoming a lot higher quality. I like to try to balance it with the good and the bad.”
How has this effected your daily life?
“I’ve never done radio before. This has been a really fun opportunity. I’m about to graduate.
So, I’m preparing for that and Just kind of trying to make the most of my last week in Bellingham.”
What are some goals in your future?
Connor O’Boyle, KMRE News staff
“I guess a goal of mine would be to work in journalism to some capacity. Continuing my volunteer work with KMRE would be a good start towards that.”Why did you choose to become an anchor with KMRE?
“I’ve always been told I have a pretty good voice and I didn’t really think about it until recently. I mainly sang and did songwriting. Never done actual radio type anchoring. it’s fun and it’s nice to hear your voice is getting out there.”
Connor O’ Boyle would like to let the members of the newsletter know that he’d like support in KMRE. If you’d like to support us. The KMRE News Patreon is linked here.
