MENDOCINO Co., 12/6/21 — As of this Saturday, KYBU will have been broadcasting to the Round Valley community for an entire decade, and the community radio station will be celebrating with a party on December 11 at the Round Valley Library Commons. The event will take place from 4 – 8 p.m. and attendance is limited to station members — although you can sign up for membership at the door. KYBU will also be celebrating with a silent auction, a pop-up store with station merchandise, and a membership drive.
