Volunteer Award Winners
In South Australia more than 50% of the population volunteer
in their communities, contributing work to the value of
more than 5 billion dollars each year. These figures were
released during National Volunteers Week in May, and at the
celebration event we were proud to see two of our longest
standing volunteers recognised with the Premiers Certificate
of Appreciation for their outstanding contributions.
Property Damage!
Home Invasions!
Stolen Cars!
These aren’t the messages you’ll be hearing about
crime and crime prevention on Radio Adelaide.
Instead you’ll hear an innovative approach for crime
prevention. Radio Adelaide has teamed with the SA
Institute of Justice Studies to produce over 100 30-60
second messages about what we can all do to prevent
crime and improve community safety.
George Sremcevic, left, from the Voice of Serbia, is our
longest serving ethnic broadcaster and Myk Mykyta, right
has been involved in a wide range of arts programs. They
are pictured here with Station Manager Deb Welch and the
Member for Morialta, Linsday Simmons.
Both George and Myk have clocked up more than 30 years
of volunteer involvement. Dollar value? Priceless.
Series Producer Angelina Edwards says, “The messages
will expose some of the myths and misconceptions about
crime and crime prevention. We’ll hear how things like
school retention and social inclusion can help to reduce
crime, how we can keep ourselves safe and how we can
all get involved in reducing crime in our communities.”
The messages will be scheduled into our regular
programming and will also be available to over 170
community stations around Australia.
Production of the messages has been funded by the
National Community Crime Prevention Programme, an
Australian Government initiative.

Adelaide. A fundraiser for Radio Adelaide, it provides over
$10,000 in valuable offers, all valid until 1 st June 2007.
And its Only $60 (inc GST)
If you purchased the Entertainment Book last year, you'll
know it provides great value, but for those of you who
haven’t, the Entertainment Book provides thousands of dollars
worth of savings, in the way of up-to-50% off at hundreds
of fine dining restaurants or casual eateries, 2-for-1 cinema
vouchers, cheap entry into sporting events and tourist
destinations, lots of discounts on hotel accommodation and
travel opportunities.
Apart from the HUGE SAVINGS on offer, you will be helping
Radio Adelaide raise much-needed funds. Remember, Radio
Adelaide is a not-for-profit, community access radio station
that broadcasts radio to give Adelaide listeners a choice and
to allow more of our community to have a say. To provide
this quality alternative costs about $800,000 a year, the
greater part of which we have to earn ourselves. So it’s vital
for us to gain support in a variety of ways. Alternatively,
your donation is always welcome at any time.
For enquiries call Marit de Jager or Olivia Power on 8303

Adelaide during office hours.

Adelaide City Council participated
in Radio Adelaide’s bumper season
of Festival Broadcasts during March
to promote the 2006 Adelaide Bank
Festival of Arts, 2006 Adelaide Fringe
Festival and Womadelaide 2006.
They also used the on-air opportunity to
promote Council services and facilities,
including Rundle Mall, the Adelaide
Aquatic Centre and the Libraries &
Community Centres.
“Supporting Radio Adelaide fits well with Council charter
as they present, celebrate and promote Adelaide and
South Australian based artists, events and activities to their
listeners,” said Lord Mayor and Radio Adelaide listener
Michael Harbison.
“Given the broad spectrum of listeners, Radio Adelaide is
also a great avenue for us to provide information about
all the different community services facilitated through the
Council.”
As events supported by the Adelaide City Council receive
good coverage on Radio Adelaide, especially in our arts
programs, we can all look forward to the Council’s continued
support! After all we are Radio Adelaide, and with 450 +
volunteers and hundreds of guests each week the station is a
real hub of city activity.
