COMMUNITY
As well as providing entertainment and information especially for seniors, an important part of Golden Days Radio's charter is to support and assist the community it serves.
It does this in many ways but particularly by providing an opportunity for various not-for-profit and politically non-aligned Community Groups to become members of the station. This special Community Group membership entitles the groups to regular free promotional announcements publicising their endeavours, events and initiatives.
Community Group membership costs only $50.00 per annum and to find out the details and advantages of membership and to become a Community Group Member, contact should be made by email to Community Group Coordinator, mail@goldendaysradio.com or by post to Golden Days Radio, PO Box 287, Glen Huntly Vic 3163. The guidelines in pdf format for Community Service Announcements can be downloaded here.
