The WYCE Legacy Project
88.1 FM WYCE
announces two new radio programs
beginning Sunday, December 14.
Sundays from 6 to 8 pm, host Ogie Dreyer presents Legacy, an historical look at the world of music that inspired today’s progressive radio.
Then from 8 to 10 pm, join host Mike Scot for The British Infusion – a look at how early American roots music influenced British culture and sparked a revolution.
These shows are part of an overarching program we're calling The Legacy Project, an effort to preserve your music that has lost its home on the radio.
You can participate! The Legacy Project needs your vintage music - CDs, LPs or 45s - for archival and potential addition to our new Sunday night programming!
More information on the Legacy Project is available at wycelegacy.blogspot.com, or by contacting Matt at (616) 459-4788 extension 110 or
Remembering To Not Forget
Wealthy Theatre would have be nothing without the heroic actions of the South East Economic Development (SEED) organization. Literally: the SEED organizers saved the theatre from the wrecking ball. What would the property be now, if the theatre had been demolished? A Wal-Mart? Shudder to think. Better simply to say "thank-you" to the folks who organized the movement, and saved the Wealthy Theatre District, in the 1990s. Those who have the pleasure of visiting, living, working, or recreating in this neighborhood... are in your debt.
This photograph (above) is archived at CMC Lending Library, collected as part of a retrospective video that CMC is creating to honor the history of the Wealthy Theatre District. Special thanks to Craig Nobbelin, Rebecca Smith-Hoffman, Carol Moore and Rhonda Baker for their advice and contributions to the archiving project.

Excuse me - *WHOSE* WYCE skull cap is it, Papi?
I was on the phone with a surfer friend from Grand Haven, talking about the upcoming Unsalted & The Concusssions event at Wealthy Theatre. Very excited to discover a dozen of his surfer friends are coming to GR to see this music and concert extravaganza, on Thursday. Out of the blue, my little lad (Julian) came up and hijacked my cherished WYCE skull cap - and he proceded to put it on! I had a camera nearby and wanted to share HIS new skull cap ;-)

Coleman A. Young Foundation Launch
The CMC IT Team is proud to announce the launch of www.CAYF.org the new web presence for the Coleman A. Young Foundation of Detroit. The site not only helps communicate their organization and their great work with students from Detroit, it also helps streamline their work. People can now apply for any of their programs online, nominate an outstanding educator for the "Detroit Educator of the Year" award, and those accepted to the scholarship program can now handle all of their paperwork online. It also provides an area where past and present participants in the scholars program can connect with each other through a message board system for advice, support, or just general conversation.
How Sweet It Is
Our builder, Bill Bainbridge, is going to fix our fallen flagpole later this week. In the mean time, to commemorate Election Day, we flew the flag in the Lobby... right below our brand new neon that commemorates late CMC Founding Director Dirk Koning. The Koning Micro-Cinema opened earlier this year: in that short time, it has become as popular as our main theatre, Peter Wege Auditorium.
