BCC’s American Indian Film Festival welcomes public financial support
BCC’s acclaimed American Indian Film Festival (AIFF), now entering its seventh year, has established an account with
the BCC Foundation so it can receive and manage donations from employees, community members and outside agencies.
This step represents a new approach for the festival as it faces the challenge of sustaining itself in a harsh economic climate. The AIFF planners hope to more closely tie the festival to
both the campus and regional communities, and ultimately to provide for growth through donations as well as grants and other organizational partnerships.
One hundred percent of every donation to the AIFF will go directly to the cost of putting on the festival, and is tax-deductible.
You can make a donation right now at: https://bellevuecollege.edu/secure/foundation/.
Choose AIFF from the “Giving Options” drop-down menu.
For further information please contact AIFF Budget Chair Justin Hart at jhart@bellevuecollege.edu or
the BCC Foundation at foundation@bellevuecollege.edu. |

KBCS switches to High-Def
BCC’s KBCS 91.3 FM community radio station switched its primary signal to High Definition (HD) Radio in December.
The new transmitter allows KBCS to broadcast up to 3 different program channels to anyone in the Seattle area with an HD radio receiver. Radios that are not high-def
(standard analog radios) will continue to receive KBCS at 91.3 FM, with no significant changes.
KBCS also continues to expand its service by adding new ways to tune into your favorite programs.
By accessing the new On Demand feature through the KBCS web site (www.kbcs.fm), you can listen to any KBCS program from the preceding two weeks.
If you’re an iTunes Radio listener, check out KBCS under the “Eclectic” category. If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can find KBCS on the new Public Radio Tuner application. |
