  • Committee Reports:

    • Father talked about his trip to Ashville, North Carolina and the NRB Southeast Regional Convention. Father felt that it was more of a retreat than a convention. Father will give a more detailed report at the next meeting. Father described the area as being very beautiful, rolling hills, wonderful accommodations, and very expensive cab rides. Father got a tour of the Christian radio station in the area, owned by Blue Ridge Broadcasting. It has state of the art equipment and is very spacious. Michael Card and Al Denson were the entertainers.

    • Radio Committee luncheon was held August 18th. A good time was had by all.

    • Big news received August 22nd. Father was having dinner in Hawthorne with friends. He talked about having trouble getting property for a radio facility in the Chiefland area. Father mentioned that he would want to get in touch with the Bailey Brothers (Winston Bailey). Found out that his friends were cousins to Winston Bailey. Father talked to Winston by phone. Bailey owns land in the area that we're interested in. There could be a deal where we buy his land and swap with Forrest Systems for a piece that's more desired by us for Spirit Radio purposes.

    • Father showed the committee blueprints for what could become the studios for Cross City (88.5). The area would be 510 square feet. It would be part of an expansion of a church/building project that includes classrooms. At this point, construction is in the planning stages with no target date set.

    • Tickets were distributed for "The Big Band Bash" for Oct 26th.

    • Father is working on a newsletter.
