The Partners in Preservation web competition will be the topic on KQED FM’s “Forum” program on Friday morning (September 22) from 9 to 10 a.m. You can listen at 88.5 on your dial or on the web.

In an email to representatives of individual preservation projects, a representative of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, co-sponsor of the competition, said

I encourage you all to call in yourselves or encourage folks you know who can speak eloquently about your sites and the importance of historic preservation to do so. The call-in numbers are (866) SF-FORUM or (415) 863-2476. I believe you can also email in comments and questions to forum@kqed.org.
