[IRCA] Wanted: Your Radio Memories

["Radio Heritage Mail" <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

February 24 2013

You're invited!

*****************
My Radio Memories
***************** 

Hello

The Radio Heritage Foundation invites you and your friends, family
and colleagues, listeners or readers, to share a short memory about
radio in your life with us.

This could be as simple as a few sentences about working in radio,
listening to the old radio in the lounge or kitchen or on the farm,
or to a transistor or walkman, a favorite broadcaster or song you
heard on the radio, an event, a place, or time when something to do 
with radio stuck in your memory.

It doesn't matter how old or young you are. All memories are equal!
All memories are precious.

Send your memory via email to myradiomemories@xxxxxxxxx or write to My
Radio Memories, Radio Heritage Foundation, PO Box 20024, Newtown,
Wellington 6242 New Zealand. Even on a postcard is fine!

We will publish them on line at our new website, and if anyone has
enough to fill a 500 word feature, we'll publish it as a column....
so if you've always wanted to be a writer, dig into the memories over
the coming weeks, then share them with us.

You might find ideas from visiting www.radioheritage.com and reading
the following features:

* Australian Radio Dial 1931
* A Tale of Three Cities
* Undercover Radio
* Blue Hawaii Radio 1961
* Listening with Lizzie
* any of the Long Lost Australian Radio Stars series
* Californian Radio Dial 1928
* NZ Radio Dial 1978
* any of the hundreds of other features 

We're currently planning a new series looking at radio in 1988 which
has more recent stations in many places, including FM, so if most of
the stuff you see is a bit old, don't worry. No matter how young you
are, your memories are very welcome!

We're working on some nice prizes for the stories we like the most.
So think of some radio memories and share them with us.

*****************************************
This invitation is open until May 31 2013.
*****************************************

Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit and we
file annual financial and other reports with our regulator. We're run
by volunteers and we'd very much like to hear your Radio Memories. 

We also welcome new volunteers, living anywhere in Australia...
.........in fact anywhere........... so contact
us by email if you want to get involved.

Why not texts? Because we're not set up to get them, and because most
people who visit the project need to see full words. We have about
75,000 visitors expected this year alone, and from over 100 countries
around the world, not all of whom speak English. 

How much time involved? You tell us how long you want to be involved
for. A few hours? OK A project lasting a few months part time from
home? Got some ideas yourself? Good. Want to see more interesting
stuff? Please tell us! We're all volunteers.

Thank you.

PS.. our new competition starts soon so why not stop by the Radio
Heritage Foundation Facebook page and like us, we'll be glad to meet
you.

You'll also find our daily brainteasers there to enjoy!

Why am I getting more than one email? Simple answer, you're on more
than one list. Annoying? Send an email to radioheritage@xxxxxxxxx
headed PW and tell us how many copies you're getting, and we'll send
out a volunteer on a mission to zap all but one of them from those
lists. Otherwise, just hit delete. The good news? In 2014, we should
finally install list management software as part of the new website
launch. In the meantime, thanks for your understanding.
