KJWL/KYNO Studios December Fresno Chamber Mixer

John Ostlund and the staff of KJWL/KYNO Studios hosted the Fresno Chamber December mixer on Thursday, Dec. 16th. The historic building in the heart of Downtown Fresno’s up and coming Art District was the perfect setting for a holiday time gathering, as the décor is always very artistic since it is also an art gallery. The architecture and ambience is very unique. They offered hand passed hors d’oeuvres and plenty of beverages. As usual, the festivities included lots of networking and raffle prizes. They offered a tour of the studios to show off the fantastic and unique features of the building and its architecture.
The building includes an art gallery that is a beautiful space featuring exceptional San Joaquin Valley artists. They are always looking for artists to feature for shows. The large walls favor contemporary, abstract and large-format artworks (with the occasional exception).

During Art Hop Fresno (The first Thursday of every month,) they also feature a musical performer or group on stage in the 2000 sq. ft. gallery. The Artist is interviewed live on KYNO-1300 radio that night and the musical group is broadcast live over the airwaves and internationally over the internet on K-JEWEL radio.

KJWL is a commercial radio station located in Fresno, California, broadcasting on 99.3 FM. KJWL aired an adult standards music format for many years in the Fresno market before evolving to a gold based Adult Contemporary format. The station is branded as "K-Jewel".
In 2008, the KYNO station was purchased by John Ostlund, owner of FM station KJWL. The new ownership changed to a politically conservative news/talk format (one of five such formats in the region) on September 1, 2008, starting with a lineup featuring nationally syndicated talk show hosts, such as Bill O'Reilly, Dennis Miller, Dr. Laura, Don Imus and Larry King Live.

Ribbon Cutting Muscular Dystrophy Association

The Fresno Chamber Ambassadors had the distinct privilege of having a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) at their new location at Community Medical Center in Downtown Fresno.

On Friday, December 3rd, MDA held a press conference and ribbon cutting ceremony. They had several keynote speakers, and Dr. Jeffery Rosenfeld was named as the clinical director of the facility.

The press conference had mentioned that most of their patients in the nearby area had previously had to travel to the Bay Area, or to Southern California for treatment. Not only was this inconvenient, but also, patients with muscular dystrophy should not have to travel this far for treatment. This new facility is a dream come true for many families.

MDA provided a delicious breakfast for the occasion, as well as a guided tour of their new facility. The Fresno Chamber would like to wish Dr. Rosenfeld and his team the best of luck in their new clinic and welcome them to the chamber.
