RADIO DAY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! –You all know it takes a small army of volunteers to pull off our events so smoothly. Volunteering is a long day’s work, but very satisfying. Volunteers get preferred parking, free lunch and beverages. Having two venues creates more need for help. If you would like to help PLEASE CLICK HERE. In addition if you volunteered last year we may reach out to you.
AUCTION ITEMS NEEDED NOW! –Now is the time to donate or consign good auction-able items to CHRS and donate items for our Electronics Flea Market. Remember that Radio Day is our main fund raising activity for the year so it’s important to support CHRS on this day with nice auction items for 50/50 consignment or donation.

Our most sincere thanks go out to Jon Winchell, Tom Bonomo, Tom Nelson, Scott Robinson, Dave Sauer and Bart Lee & Judy Mears for financing this project. This is the solution to organizing Radio Central.

I am interested in obtaining recordings of Tales of San Francisco, read by Bud Heyde. These broadcasts were part of my childhood and as a write this, the entry music is playing in my mind.
Are recordings or CD’s available?
I have an old radio that I would like to possibly sell at a Radio Day flea market such as you had in July, or it may be best to donate it. Condition is excellent at the moment…
I thoroughly enjoyed your updated version of War of the Worlds but I am slightly perplexed!, you have the lead actor named as Michael Bennett when I am totally convinced that it is the Great English character actor Donald Moffat,would someone like to elucidate on this please! Many thanks
