I'm asking if 50 of my friends will PLEASE donate $10.00 (or more) to help me reach my obligation as a Board member of LBPM.
Long Beach Public Media Corp. 501c3 is the nonprofit which we created in 2009 to bring about PUBLIC ACCESS to media for Long Beach and surrounding communities. Long Beach Public Media holds the FCC license for KLBP-LP 99.1 fm and provides FUNDING for KLBP radio station.
In Feb. 2020, we had a very successful GRAND OPENING of the KLBP station itself. Many THANKS to Ron Hodges owner of Shannon's Corner (Pine and Broadway LB) for partnering with LBPM & KLBP and building KLBP a station downstairs from Shannon's Pub.
Then ....right away in March, the Covid quarantine hit us like a brick wall. while the PROGRAMMING of the station has continued to GROW...our monthly DONATIONS have dropped to less than 1/2, from Grand Opening day.
Soon we will be allowed to resume station operations and we really need financial support.

I'm excited to be joining Farm Lot 59 in this fundraising campaign because I believe their work is making a great impact in our community. Farm Lot 59 is a working organic farm, right here in the city of Long Beach whose mission is incubating urban farming and food education from the ground up. If you know me, you know that this mission statement resonates because I love food and care about where food comes from. Farm Lot 59 is not only providing local, fresh food to its neighbors, but also educating community members about food and farming. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the farm stepped up to serve those in need through the Farm to Family Program. The farm is such a valuable asset to our community, and I hope you'll join me in supporting Farm Lot 59 so that they can continue this important work!

Hi! CJ here.

As you may know I've gotten very involved with a local farm organization here in Long Beach called Farm Lot 59. I have been with them them for a while now coordinating their volunteers and expanding the volunteer educational program.

Some of you know me well enough to know that the farming history of Long Beach has a personal connection with my father's family. And the mission of farm lot, education, outreach, giving back, all spoke to my sense of community and LB pride.

For many years now FL59 has participated in the Long Beach Gives fundraiser.
This year, like so many other volunteer organizations, this is our ONLY major fundraiser.
So I am asking you to please help me by making a donation to our organization. $5 or $500, whatever you are able to give would be most appreciated.

I've including a short list for you to see a snippet of the financial impact you can help us to have on our community.

Ongoing: Weekly Meals to Elizabeth Ann Seton House (Division of Catholic Charities) $2,000.
Monthly Water Bill $235 average
Infrastructure: Irrigation wiring and controller upgrade $2,475
Rebuild Seed and Kitchen Storage Shed $1875
Inline Compost Tea Fertilizer System $430
Food Expansion: Fruit Tree orchard, 1-15g tree (purchased, planted, irrigated) $150
Crop Row Cover, 6'x500' $375

As you can see where the money goes is wide and varied. And the majority of our labor is donated! These are costs of materials.

It takes a great community to support a great community, won't you please help me, to help others to continue to support ours?

Most Sincerely,
CJ
