Fundraiser for KRFY at Di Luna’s on May 5

On Saturday, May 5, 88.5 KRFY hosted a fundraiser with John Kelley and Friends performing at Di Luna’s. Over forty dinners were served at Di Luna’s before John Kelley took the stage. He played three sets — the first and third set with Bob Crader and the second set with Tom Newbill. The acoustic guitars and vocals of John, Bob, and Tom were a major hit with the nearly full house. KRFY would like to thank John, Bob and Tom for donating their musical talents; Karen and her staff at Di Luna’s; the station’s Events Committee; and all the wonderful members of the community who turned out on Cinco de Mayo for a delightful evening.


Casey Brookings and Suzy Prez welcome folks at they enter Di Luna’s. Notice the list of KRFY underwriters attached to the table.
