Artist Spotlight - Lasgo

Lasgo is a trio of dance music musicians from Belgium. The group formed in 2000 and is composed of Jelle Van Dael as the vocalist after Evy Goffin left the band in 2008. Peter Luts and Jeff Martens are the producers and writers of all Lasgo songs.

Jelle van Dael celebrated her eighteenth birthday on May 2. A self-proclaimed night owl, she is wholly dedicated to the style of dance music. Jelle says "I know very well it won't be easy to make people forget the chanteuse Evy, but I'll give it my all to the attempt."

Lasgo’s new album was released in September 2009. Their fourth single from the album "Smile" has recently been confirmed as "Over You". Although being played on radio, the release date of "Over You" itself has yet to be announced.

Other notable songs from the group Lasgo airing on the Dance Radio Network are "Something", "Pray", "Alone", "Surrender", "Hold Me Now", "Gone", and "Lost".

PSA Sunday: May is Foster Care Month

Each May, National Foster Care Month provides an opportunity to shine a light on the plight of hundreds of thousands of children and youth in the foster care system. The campaign raises awareness about the urgent needs of these young people and encourages citizens from every walk of life to get involved.

Through the dedication of advocates, child welfare professionals, elected officials and support groups around the country, the total number of children waiting for a safe and permanent family has decreased from more than a half million to 463,000 between 2003 and the end of 2008. These numbers tell us that, together, we can make a difference for children in foster care. 12,476 children previously featured on AdoptUsKids now live with permanent families!

PSA Sunday: Clean Air Month

Energy Efficiency

Sponsor Organization: U.S. Department of Energy
Campaign Website: loseyourexcuse.gov

Energy use is on the rise around the world. By 2030, global energy demand is expected to increase 50 percent above 2005 levels, with electricity demand alone in the U.S projected to rise 29 percent over the same period. Increasing demand requires additional supplies to keep costs low, ensure reliability, and reduce America’s dependence on foreign energy sources. At the same time, this growing demand must be addressed in the context of global climate change. Consumers can make a significant difference on all these fronts by reducing demand through simple energy efficiency measures. For example, households that install energy-saving bulbs can cut energy used for lighting by more than 80 percent.

In a national survey of kids ages 8-12, 85 percent of respondents believed that they could lead their family to do what is needed to consume less energy in the home. The U.S. Department of Energy and the Ad Council have partnered together to launch a new kid-targeted campaign entitled “What’s Your Excuse?” highlighting the simplicity of making energy efficient changes in the home and asking kids to join millions of others to make a difference by using their energy wisely.

PSA Sunday: Emergency Preparedness

Emergency Preparedness (May is Hurricane Preparedness Month)

Sponsor Organization: Federal Emergency Management Agency
Campaign websites: ready.gov
Volunteer Agency: Cramer-Krasselt and Elevacion, Ltd.

91% of Americans believe it’s important to be prepared for emergencies. However, only 58% of households report having taken any steps at all to prepare. In order to encourage more Americans to prepare themselves, their families and their communities, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has sponsored public service advertisements (PSAs) that educate and empower Americans to prepare for and respond to all kinds of emergencies.

Launched in February 2003, the Ready Campaign asks individuals to do three key things to prepare for the unexpected: 1) get an emergency supply kit, 2) make a family emergency plan, and 3) be informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses.
