We are very active with many local non-profit organizations. Our involvement includes, but, is not limited to, making guest appearances, acting as Masters of Ceremony, promoting their events in person and on the air. Also, meeting many commercial business leaders to discuss their advertising strategies, we have established successful relationships with many community leaders. General Manager Norman Slemenda is on the Board of Directors for Martinsburg/Berkeley County Chamber of Commerce. He also sits on the Main Street Martinsburg Promotion Committee and is actively involved in the United Way, The American Cancer Society and other fund raising activity in the Eastern Panhandle.  Because of this, we receive many recruitment referrals.   Prettyman Broadcasting Company’s AM station, WEPM, airs an hour long program Monday through Friday, 9am-10am called Panhandle Live. Panhandle Live covers many issues concerning local, state and national concerns. Panhandle Live has hosted many elected officials, from Martinsburg Mayor, Berkeley County Sheriff, County and City Commissioners, WV Governor to presidential hopefuls. It has also hosted many agencies; among them Workforce West Virginia representative Nick Diehl. The program also addresses local school issues. The WV State & Berkeley County Schools Superintends have been on the show numerous times discussing issues ranging from overcrowded class rooms, teacher’s salaries and the various problems schools are faced with daily. Area high school coaches are normal guests during their seasons to bring awareness to the community on the progress of the student athletes and the individual programs. It also reaches out to the community officials by addressing topics including recycling, zoning, growth impact on schools, highways, water, to name a few. This has also proved to be a great source of recruitment referrals. Prettyman Broadcasting Company also gives tours of the radio stations to local organizations.  On February 21, 2009 Brian Mease, on air personality for WLTF, conducted a tour of the facility for a local Cubs Scout Pack. May 15. 2009 Nick Di Bartolomeo, on air personality on WLTF conducted a tour for a Berkeley Springs, WV Cub Scout Pack. Our most recent tour was May 20, 2009 with George Pavlik on air personality with WEPM, also with a local Cub Scout Pack.  Not only do participants get to see the inner workings of radio but also are informed of the many career opportunities radio has to offer.  Prettyman Broadcasting Company is a primary sponsor of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. We broadcast live from the annual 2 day Relay, serve as Master of Ceremonies and have a participating team. Prettyman Broadcasting is also a primary sponsor of the American Cancer Society Active for Life Program. Many contacts are made with in these two organizations, not only business opportunities but a great way for the staff to be involved in very worthwhile community events.     Prettyman Broadcasting Company also offers internships to college students. The stations sponsorship with the American Cancer Society for Life opened the door for our first intern of the year, Darrell Wolfe. He helped Prettyman Broadcasting understand and get the message out to the community all the things the American Cancer Society Active for Life do and stand for. Part of June, July and August 2009 Jamie Soo Harrison a student at West Virginia University did a paid internship with Prettyman Broadcasting Co.  Jenna Lee Kees, a Broadcast Major at West Virginia University, interned during the fall of 2008. Joyce Kees of Centra Bank contacted Norman Slemenda, G.M. at a Chamber of Commerce meeting. In February 2009 John Pollick of Pittsburgh contacted Norman Slemenda G.M. about an internship from April 22-July 9, 2009 for Kristin Sabol. Kristin has been out on various remote broadcasts, helping in the office with sales, traffic and other office duties. Internships are a wonderful opportunity for Prettyman Broadcasting and the students. The students learn first hand about the inter workings of broadcasting. Prettyman Broadcasting while working with these students learns what is being taught and expected from our future broadcasters.  Appendix 1 to Annual EEO Public File Report Form Covering the Period from June 1, 2008 to May 31, 2009 Station(s) Comprising Station Employment Unit:   WEPM/WICL/WLTF                    Section 1: Vacancy Information
