Saturday was the last day of CHLY 101.7 FM FunDrive radio programming. To wrap up the “on air” portion of the FunDrive. Volunteers held a wrap up party which included live music, vegan chili, and other fun and games.

CHLY will be heading back into regular programming this week. You may hear the occasional plea for your support as we are still trying to raise $6,000 by the end of May. Thanks to everyone who’s supported so far.

And remember its not too late to get into the draw for a trip to VEGAS. Contest closes May 30, 2012.
