Like a beast unearthed after being b uried under the ice for millions of years, the monster that is CICK is mutating and spreading its tentacles into all areas of the community. Our open house for the new studio in November introduced many area residents to the station, and the train car studio continues to provide a great space for local show production. The addition of a patio in the early summer will help connect CICK with attendees at the Farmer’ s Market, and will pr ovide a space for local musicians to play. The Feb. 26th“ takeover” of CICK by a class of students from École Muheim Elementary School allowed many young Smithereens to get in volved in a medium they had probably not been exposed to befor e. Hopefully, some of those young people will become regular listeners, and contr ibutors, to the station. The 2nd Annual CICK Royale fundraiser in March was a great success, and helped raise need ed funds for the sta tion to continue to incr ease its pr esence in the Bulkle y Valley and beyond. These events would not occur without the dedication and hard work of all of the CICK v olunteers, and our two part-time paid staff( Glen and Matt).
