CHSR FunDrive<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n
\n

If you haven\u2019t heard or visited UNB\u2019s CHSR 97.9 FM radio station, you are missing out on a good time.<\/p>\n

As you take the first step through CHSR\u2019s doors, something about the floor-to-ceiling poster-covered walls and overflowing CD racks tells you you\u2019re with friends and in for a good time.<\/p>\n

For those who might be timid about walking straight into a radio station, but would still really like to get involved, fear not, for this week is CHSR\u2019s FunDrive! What is a FunDrive, you may ask? Well, it is a mash-up of a few different events happening through March 22-30.<\/p>\n

There are a wide range of events including, a hot dog BBQ on The Cellar patio, which took place last Friday, and performance by Logan Colter, Brydon Crain and Josh Bravener at the Wilser\u2019s Room last Saturday. Events coming up include, Evil Dead Trilogy Marathon to be held at Tilley Hall on Thursday, March 28, starting at 8 p.m. with movie durations of only about one hour and 15 minutes each. There will be a minimum $3 donation for this event. Also, there will be a Table Top Board Game Night at the UNB Student Union Building\u2019s blue room on March 30, with a minimum donation of $2.<\/p>\n

With so many different events, you can be sure to find something that suits you!<\/p>\n

CHSR is a non-profit radio station, and the annual FunDrive is a great source of new income. All proceeds go back into the station, which help them upgrade to better equipment, expand their music library, fund workshops, employ staff, send volunteers to conferences outside of Fredericton, and much, much more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the members\u2019 radio station\u201d, said station manager, Tim Rayne. \u201cIt\u2019s run by the campus community\u201d.<\/p>\n

The best thing about CSHR and its FunDrive is the fact that it is not faculty specific. Just because you\u2019re not majoring in media or broadcast journalism, doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t join in on the fun. The station is always looking for new volunteers with all types of experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re in nursing, business, media, or computer science, It\u2019s open ended to the options that you can do in terms of creating a resume and helping the station, while helping yourself\u201d, said Rayne. \u201cI see CHSR as an opportunity to have training and development programs and workshops that allow students to take their academic experiences and put them into the work place.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you still aren\u2019t convinced by the work experience, cool wall art, or Evil Dead trilogies, then the easy going, friendly nature that is Tim Rayne, will be sure to push you over the edge.<\/p>\n

Drop by one of the FunDrive events or pop into the station to meet with great people like Tim and get involved with campus\u2019 very own radio station, CHSR 97.9 FM. They are truly for the people, by the people, and we just happen to be those people.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t make it to the events but would still like to make a donation to help out our local radio station, CHSR has got you covered there too. You can go to their website (Chsrfm.ca) and donate through PayPal or other forms of online payment.<\/p>\n
