March is National Social Work Month and as a way to celebrate the may contributions social workers make in our community, this special series gives them a voice to talk about what they do each and every day. This is the second season of our award winning series. This season, host Dave Smith speaks with both area professionals and students studying at ACU and HSU in the field of social work. Our presentation tackles the subject of social work from the perspective of the individual as well as looking closer at the area of social work they are involved in.
The donation of your car to 89.7 KACU helps us to continue to provide the quality of programming that you expect and hear from Abilene Public Radio KACU. It also helps us hire quality staff to keep that programming coming to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
A luncheon for the community marks a historic landmark in KACU history; a celebration of 25 years of public radio in Abilene and the Big Country of West Texas. KACU serves one of the smallest markets in the U.S. and it has been said the area population is too small to support a public radio station. But, with typical West Texas style, the community defied the odds and has maintained 89.7 KACU, AbilenePublicRadio, for 25 years.
