Nearly 185 community members of all ages, backgrounds and musical tastes gathered outside the LCEC on Sept 24 to launch WWMV-LP 95.5 FM, Many Voices, One Community radio. Party-goers enjoyed great food from community chefs Jeanice Franklin and Kim Davis; abundant ice cream from Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream; diverse music from Trending Topic / X-Clusive Movement, Frankie Pobar Lay, Live Sounds / Native Sons, and Sangamam; and a wide variety of indoor activities, including mural painting with D.A.M.A., radio station identification recording, stop-motion animation with the Madison Bubbler, and circuit exploration with Edgewood College’s ROSE project.
