On October 8th and 9th, KDRT hosted the Low Power FM Radio Roundup in Davis, California, an event which brought together volunteers from both long established and emerging community stations around California and Oregon.

The conference provided a space for volunteers from all these stations to network and share skills and experiences. The event included trainings in radio journalism, internet streaming, radio theater, and covered a variety of station management and legal issues.

Lois volunteers on two KDRT radio shows, one on gardening and her own show called "That's Life" where she talks to ordinary people and explores their interests. Lois also hosts a show on Davis Community TV called "Thoughfulness."
