Organizations <br /> Contacted <br /> • LA Porte Economic Development Corporation <br /> • LA Porte ISD <br /> • Chamber of Commerce <br /> • LA Porte Community Civic Club <br /> • Citizens Advisory Council <br /> • LA Porte ISD School Board <br /> • Russell Ybarra <br /> • Beacon Federal Credit Union <br /> • Shell Federal Union <br /> • JSC Federal Credit Union <br /> • Amegy Bank <br /> Other matters <br /> • LPISD, San Jac, and Lee Colleges to be approached to create an "apprentice" <br /> program for students interested in radio /television as a future job. The La Porte <br /> high school has a daily TV station within the school and the opportunity to add <br /> radio to the community could dovetail with that program. Opportunities for <br /> sports broadcasts, concerts, academic competion, and the arts abound in this <br /> scenario. The Houston radio and televisions might be receptive to offering <br /> assistance in the project. <br /> • Through the present Citizen's Advisory Council, in association with the Plant <br /> Manager's network, the radio station would provide an excellent source of <br /> information in the event of an emergency situation in the community. It would <br /> provide a logical addition to the phone calling system and the alert towers <br /> throughout the community. Additional funding might be available from this <br /> group. <br /> • The city would be able to broadcast or podcast in the event of another IKE. <br /> Citizens could tune in from anywhere. <br /> In Summary <br /> • A radio concept is an excellent communication vehicle to increase our <br /> community awareness. This community has a wealth of talented and creative <br /> people who can and will volunteer their time to such a worthy endeavor. This <br /> won't be an overnight success, it will take time. But it can be accomplished and <br /> represents an incredible opportunity for our citizens and our youth. <br />
