[grc] GRC Meeting in review

[Sharon Scott]

Dear Friends,

Thank you to everyone who attended last night's GRC Meet-Up!  It is 
always such a pleasure to connected with grassroots radio stations & the 
supporters nationwide! ...

There were many familiar faces in attendance and some new friends as 
well.  Overall there was great enthusiasm about the next IN-PERSON 
GRC!!!!

We had two sponsors step up - Spinitron as well as Broadcast Tool & Die.

We have at least three stations that are *considering* hosting this Fall 
and several others that are interested in hosting in 2024.  FINGERS 
CROSSED!

We addressed the issue that it might be turnaround for an event for this 
year but decided to leave it up to Nature to decide.  Should a station 
step up and feel like they can host it, we welcome them to do so.  GRC 
is a D.I.Y. conference to the core and nobody is expecting anything 
fancy. Besides, radio people are accustom to working quickly under 
pressure, around the clock. There are still 6 months until Fall and 
stations have certainly pulled wonderful conference together quickly in 
the past!

At the same time, we welcome the idea of getting a head start on the 
2024 conference that can be totally over there top!

It seems there would be great enthusiasm for attendance  -- whenever in 
the world it may be!

If your station is interested in hosting, we welcome you to complete the 
application below. If you prefer, you may directly contact me or to 
listserve coordinator David Klann <dklann at broadcasttool.com>

Feel free to reach out to me or representatives from another previous 
station host if you have any questions about hosting the conference.  
There are many of us who are willing to help make it happen!  The GRC is 
a great team builder for your station and your community -- and always 
such an incredible opportunity for the grassroots radio movement as a 
whole.
