A toast to a successful Wine Auction
With thanks to all our donors and bidders, KRCB just completed an energetic and successful live broadcast of the Bay Area Wine and Epicurean Auction. During two weekends in October, KRCB exceeded fundraising expectations in support of Public Television right here in the North Bay. This year, with our expanded ability to reach households in the South and East Bay, KRCB introduced a whole new audience to the opportunity to bid on fine wines from Napa, Sonoma, and Marin counties. Online bidding, which began on October 1st, ensured that everyone had ample opportunity to get an advance look at some of the best auction items. This year, those items included a Bocce, Wine, Food and Friends package from Trinchero where one lucky bidder was able to win a unique event in which the Trinchero Family opened their new Wine and Food Center to eight guests for an evening of world-class wines, a seasonal feast and bocce ball.

Whats happening at KRCB?

KRCB hosts a wine tasting happy hour for GoLocal

KRCB North Bay Media is the EXCLUSIVE GoLocal broadcast member. To honor and celebrate the mission of GoLocal, KRCB hosted a wine tasting and happy hour event on Friday, October 14. This was the first night of our Wine and Epicurean Auction. We had wine donated from the Dry Creek Winery and some appetizers from Pearson & Company. There were tours of the broadcast facility and new master control suite. GoLocal attendees got to see live television at work in our studio with the Auction in full swing. Remember, locally owned businesses, retail stores, and restaurants help to make our community unique. Support them! A dollar spent at a local independent business, on average, generates at least three times more direct local economic benefit than a dollar spent at a corporate-owned chain.

The consortium of California Public Television (CPT) stationsof which KRCBs President and CEO, Nancy Dobbs, is the President has been awarded a coveted grant from the California Mental Health Services Authority. In light of our communitys growing concerns about mental health services and care, the grant comes at an opportune time. With this funding, CPT will produce a documentary aimed at reducing the stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness throughout California. In addition to producing and airing the documentary, the stations and partners will conduct a vigorous public outreach and education campaign on this subject, beginning mid-2012. The project is funded through Prop. 63, the Millionaires Tax passed by California voters some six years ago. KRCB is extremely proud to have helped to make this important work a reality. Dear Member, Once again, KRCB has been selected as one of a very small pool of stations to take part in a national project. NPR has selected 13 stations from across the country to participate in a pilot project on planned giving and gift annuities over the next year. Planned giving is emerging as a very important way in which loyal supporters of the station can have a lasting supportive influence on the success of KRCB. You may have noticed on KRCB a series of thank you spots expressing our appreciation to individuals who have made such a long term gift. There are details at krcb.org/planned-giving. By the way, thanks to our fantastic donors, The Bay Area Wine and Epicurean Auction, exceeded our goal. Congratulations to the successful bidders and thanks to our great auction staff and volunteers. Have a happy and safe holiday season. Nancy Dobbs President and CEO

Climate One: Biofuels, building plans, and BP

December 1 Drop In, Scale Up? Solazymes successful IPO indicates investors are bullish on synthetic fuels made from algae and other sources that can be used in regular vehicles today with minimal technological or behavioral modifications. Such drop in fuels have a huge advantage over electric cars because they leverage existing capital investment in cars and distribution infrastructure. But can they really go mainstream and displace petroleum at scale?
Harrison Dillon of Solazyme December 8 Saltworks and Beyond? Is the proposal to build 12,000 homes on Cargills salt ponds in Redwood City an example of smart growth, or just dirty old development? Peter Calthorpe and other supporters say it will preserve half of the former wetlands, provide funds for needed transit and reduce greenhouse gases by putting housing closer to jobs. David Lewis and other opponents say it will destroy sensitive habitat, cause freeway congestion and create other headaches.

Literary Wednesdays
A Novel Idea: Haslam on Hayakawa In Thought and Action, the Enigmatic Life of S. I. Hayakawa, an intimate and detailed biography of this remarkable man, has just been published by University of Nebraska Press. Co-authors Gerald and Janice Haslam have done a magnificent work in telling his story, drawing on interviews with friends and family members, as well as Hayakawas own papers and journals. Even those who know a great deal about Hayakawa are sure to find some surprises here. One of the most gripping images from the 1960s captures the slight figure of Dr. Hayakawa scrambling onto a sound truck parked in front of San Francisco State College amid campus unrest. Hayakawa had hoped to use this soapbox to address the assembled demonstrators, but instead he ended up ripping out speaker wires and halting an illegal campus demonstrationor denying first-amendment rights to the crowd, depending on your perspective. Gerald Haslam, well known to KRCB listeners, is professor emeritus at Sonoma State University, and the author and editor of numerous books, several of them co-authored with Janice Haslam. Gerald Haslam will be the featured guest of host Rosemary Manchester on A Novel Idea, Wednesday, December 14, at 7 pm WordTemple: T. S. Eliot and Dylan Thomas This month on WordTemple, host Katherine Hastings gives a brief introduction to T. S. Eliot, one of the most innovative poets of the 20th century, and then plays him reading The Waste Land. This poem was despised by William Carlos Williams (I felt at once that it had set me back twenty years) and revered by his younger admirers for embodying and dissecting the malaise of our time. Then, sit back and enjoy Dylan Thomas reading his most beloved short story, A Childs Christmas in Wales. All this, and more, on WordTemple! Wednesday, December 21 at 7 pm

A Special Opportunity
There are so many things to love about this time of yeargolden leaves on the trees, the crispness of the air, and the rich texture of holiday decorations. Enhancing all these seasonal delights are the things that bring richness and meaning to our lives all year long. I know that you, our family of supporters, consider KRCB to be a part of that richness and meaning throughout the year. Please consider, during this special time of year, making an additional gift to KRCB, a gift over and above your regular membership contribution. Your additional gift assures that KRCB not only meets your listening and viewing needs, but exceeds them.

KRCB Volunteer of the Month Ray Johnson

Its been over a month since the last board for the 2011 KRCB Wine & Epicurean Auction closed; over 600 lucky bidders were able to secure unique and fine wines for their personal collections. Once again KRCB has many people to thank, from generous donors to tireless volunteers. We are grateful to those organizations that bring teams of volunteers to help out. One such organization that deserves special mention is Sonoma State University and the individual we want to feature as this months Volunteer of the Month is Ray Johnson, Director of the Wine Business Institute at SSU. Sonoma State is the firstand still the onlyacademic institution in the United States offering an MBA program in the wine industry. Ray started his career in the field as a tour guide for a Napa winery. He then joined the fundraising team and sold wine throughout the state and began to write a wine blog (something he hasnt had time to continue in his current position). With his background and passion for wines, as well as foodhe and his wife love to cook and they bottle their own wineRay was able to give would-be bidders inside information on auction items. His expertise helped make the KRCB Wine and Epicurean Auction a unique fundraising event by also making it an opportunity to learn more about the many different kinds of wines that are produced not just locally but in France, Italy, Chile, as well as throughout California. KRCB is fortunate to have volunteers like Ray (and the students he brought with him who quickly earned a 90+ point ranking as some of the most enthusiastic volunteers in the confirmation department!). Next spring Ray has offered to volunteer again at the KRCB Travel and Leisure and Wine Auction; but this time you wont just hear his voice, you will get to know him as one of our auction hosts. Kudos to the Wine Business Institute at Sonoma State University and a big thank you to Ray Johnson for his role in making the 2011 Wine and Epicurean Auction such a big success! If you are interested in being an auctioneer or live on-air host please contact Cheryl Scholar, Volunteer Manager, at 707-584-2005. If you are part of an organization that would like to bring a team of volunteers call now to reserve your night.

PBS Helps Kids Realize Their Potential

According to the latest Roper Public Affairs and Media survey, the American public has rated PBS the most educational media brand and the undisputed leader in childrens programming. Here are some other interesting statistics: More than 21 million children watch PBS KIDS on TV, and more than 20 million engage with PBS KIDS online each quarter. (Nielsen NTI and Google Analytics) PBS is the #1 source of TV and online content used by pre-K teachers in the classroom. (Frunwald Study) For the 12th year in a row PBS Kids won more Emmy awards for childrens programs than any other media company. Children from low-income families who watched as few as two episodes of Super Why! scored 46% higher on standardized tests than those who did not watch the program. (University of Pennsyvania Annenberg School for Communiction) PBS KIDS offers nine literacy series and 15 series on science, technology, engineering, and math. PBSKIDSPlay.org was named the winner of the 2009 Teachers Choice Awards for the family. Preschoolers from low-income communities who participated in PBS KIDS mediarich curriculum outscored their peers who did not participate in the curriculum on all tested measures of early literacy.
