Prospect Telethon 2010

This years Prospect telethon was a fantastic success! It was nice to work with my friends and my better half, June, to make a better life for the students of Prospect! Thank you all who donated your time and efforts to such a wonderful cause!

Digital Jukebox

Friends I invite you to enjoy my newest addition to WCKM. When I was in college radio I had a show called Artist Spotlight. The show was my dream, my reason for being in radio. The most fun in radio for me is sharing all of the unknown information about artists that sometimes make you say WOW! It is a pleasure to be able to share that with you now, at 11:30am weekdays. Join me and learn some things about your favorite artists.

Well, this past weekend, a couple of my best friends had their wedding ceremony. Melissa and I had a great time at the joining of Marie Denes and Chris Scott. They truly belong together. Marie was so emotional, she cried throughout the entire ceremony, but she still was a beautiful bride! Congrats to Chris and Marie, may you have happiness together in life and love!

A Community Coming Together

Friday, January 23rd, the Quillinan family lost their entire home and all of their belongings to a fire. We received information at the station on Monday about a fundraiser planned for Friday at the Herrissena Community Church and I decided in this situation, I wanted to get more involved than just mentioning it on the air. While searching for donations I learned more and more about the family, and realized many people were getting involved. The event on Friday was a success and a second event was planned at the Docksider on Glen Lake Rd. After being unable to attend Friday's dinner I made it a point to get to the fundraiser last night. While there I saw the warmth in the hearts of everyone who attended, all there to ease the strain which had been placed on this family in the dead of winter. It was a great feeling to see Sean Quillinan greeting everyone with a smile and a thank you. The more I spoke with Sean, the more I realized that I, and all that helped, had done the right thing. Thank you to all who helped out, and good luck to Sean Quillinan, his wife Deb, and their children Tara and Ian.

Trivia Time at the Irish Pub

On Friday night's lately, I've been broadcasting live from the Irish Pub from 5-7pm. My partner in crime Rudy, and myself, wait for questions from the crowd. If you can stump Rudy with a sports question, you win a prize! I usually ask for something different each week, movie trivia, music trivia, etc. At the end of the night we hand out the big prize, which usually ends up being a gift certificate to a local business. It all happens on Fridays from 5-7 at the Irish Pub. Hope to see you there soon!

Taste of the North Country

I had the opportunity to judge in the apple dessert contest at the Taste of the North Country. Thanks to Sue Philion for inviting me to judge, the desserts were fantastic! It was a wonderful day and I saw MANY faces I haven't seen in a long time. The foods were delicious as well, I was quite impressed. I discovered the best soup I've ever tasted and I just want to remind Leanne, new to our sales staff, you are supposed to EAT the soup, not dump it on your skirt lol! Wrapping things up, I look forward to the next downtown event, and seeing all of you there!

Ty and Amanda's Wedding

This past weekend I attended the wedding of my good friends Ty and Amanda. It was a beautiful ceremony in Saratoga and I met a great deal of nice people. My date Marie and I had a great time dancing! Good Luck to the newlyweds! May your new life together be filled with joy!
