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.
