£ The CIBA office has a new face! Mirlandra is moving to California in August and CIBA has hired Colleen Dyrud to take over the ADMINISTRATIVE POSITION at the office. Colleen has an impressive work history and is well qualified. Please join us in welcoming her to CIBA!

£ Have you been thinking of hiring new STAFF? If so, CIBA just went through the process and had some amazing applicants. With only one position open, we had to turn down some well-qualified people. If you have an administrative or retail vacancy to fill, let us know, we can give you some dynamite candidates.

£ CIBA Member and locally-owned radio stations KGAL and KSHO have put together a very generous plan for on-going ADVERTISING impact that every member can consider. They are already running COMMERCIALS about CIBA and locally-owned businesses so be sure to tune in either KSHO at AM 920 or KGAL at AM 1580 to hear the campaign. You can find out more about the stations at www.kgal.com and www.ksho.net To read all the details of the offer and to hear the generic CIBA commercials you can link to a private site: www.kgal.com\ciba.asp Individual advertisers will be in groups of 3 as you will see on the offer. To participate, you can send an e-mail to charlie@kgal.com with some copy points you want in your 15-second ad along with your authorization and billing address. If you prefer to have Radio Ray or other station representative stop by you can send an e-mail to that effect. There is also a great opportunity for sponsorship of a morning program. This is a great value for your advertising dollar!
