BAKERSFIELD, CA May 1, 2009 - Bright House Networks announced that they are returning as a business partner with Lotus Bakersfield (formerly The Spanish Radio Group) El Gallito 1010 AM’s most successful program “Crew of the Week.” In its 31st year, “Crew of the Week” begins in mid-April and runs through October.
Every Friday, Bright House Networks and other local business partners provide free lunches, refreshments and entertainment for selected farm workers, packing shed crews and other industry workforces that have been nominated by the radio station’s listeners to be the “Crew of the Week.” Each month hundreds of workers are reached and their otherwise long work days are brightened and enlivened.
The “Crew of the Week” program provides support and respite to hundreds of workers who work in the fields in and around Kern County. The business partners offer educational and community resources while building a strong community service image.
According to Joe Schoenstein, President of Bright House Networks, Bakersfield Division, “We appreciate being able to work with Lotus Bakersfield and their long standing program ‘Crew of the Week.’ We are honored to be a part of such a worthwhile community partnership where we have face-to-face interpersonal connections with our customers.”
