Community Conversations on helping Haiti, puppies and G Street

A young woman’s trip to help out in Haiti, a woman who started an animal rescue center, a G Street update and a support group for people who had a troubled childhood are among the topics featured this week on Community Conversations, a public service program on KYOS.

The show focuses on community, education and government news affecting residents throughout Merced County. It airs on KYOS, 1480 AM, at 7 p.m. Saturday and at 3 p.m. Sunday.

The hour-long show focuses on news that has gone unnoticed or underreported.

The show is hosted by Nathan Quevedo, the public information officer for the Merced County Office of Education and engineered by Rick McMillion of KYOS. The show is produced by MCOE, the City of Merced Public Information Office and Roger Wood, in association with UC Merced and the County of Merced.
