Volunteer Profile: Father Ron ClingenpeelIn his own words: "I started as a WWOZ volunteer 11 years ago, because I wanted to support this wonderful community, to be a part of it – musicians, artists, on air hosts, and the great people behind the scenes. I didn’t start to be an on-air host, but was invited into that later and am loving digging through the musical history and culture which feeds my spirit. I have not given up other volunteering, though, because we still need to support the very essence of the station's ministry to New Orleans. The wider community of OZilians has encouraged me every step of the way. This feeds my spirit and my soul, and without it, other parts of my life might not be as good. I have made great friends here, learned so much, and been given the great gift of community." Thanks, Father Ron! |
