<font size="3">Sal,
It behooves all of us to forward John's email message to anyone we think
would give a good presentation at next year's SWLfest, along with a
solicitation and encouragement for them to do so.
Sometimes this requires gentle prodding and hand-holding, with an
explanation that the SWLfest is an informal, fun event that warmly
welcomes new speakers and attendees.
I've been doing this for several years which has brought several good
speakers to the SWLfest--some of who had never heard of the SWLfest but
who are now regular 'festers.
John and Rich need ALL of us to help bring in good speakers and new
attendees for the SWLfest to survive and thrive. We will ALL
benefit from this. It's really up to all of us.
Typically, John and Rich receive more talk submissions than there's time
to present, so they have to vet them all and pick the best ones each
year--which is a lot of work.
I've already reached out to some new people about speaking at next year's
SWLfest. I hope you do the same!
Best,
-Ed Cummings

I would say that the fact that I received this email is a pretty good
clue that you have my email address on file.
On the other hand, if you don't have someone's email on file, then how
are they supposed to receive this message and respond to your request to
provide their email address?
So either you have my email address and therefore I received this message
so there is no need to respond with my email address, or you don't have
my email address and I never receive this message and do not know you
need my email address, which will net you zero additional email addresses
for your records.
Unless of course there is someone in this mailing loop who knows of a
like minded individual whose email address they believe you don't have,
but they do, and forwards this message to them.
But, you neglected to ask your readers to do that.
Just sayin'

Yes, itâs (already!) that time of the year again.
We invite one and all to be a part of the 2018 Winter SWL Fest on
March 1, 2 and 3 at the Doubletree Guest Suites in fashionable
Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. That's just 105 days away as I type
this.
This will be the 31st such annual gathering and due to popular
demand
we have added an extra half day, opening the event on Thursday
afternoon and continuing through all of Friday and Saturday. Details
and
background info from
<<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"

One of the centerpieces of the Fest weekend is our line-up of informative
and entertaining forums. How do we get them? These excellent
sessions
are put together and presented by you and people just like youpeople
with a deep and abiding interesst in radio and a willingness to share
what
they've experienced, learned and know.
So, how about it? Have you a topic that you think Fest
participants
will find interesting and would be willing to present? Tell us
about it. If
youâve already contacted us, chances are we have your e-mail on
file.
However, chances are also that we donât. So, please re-contact us
at
this time just to make sure.
Your role will be to lead a one hour session forum. That
means
preparing about a half-hour presentation that leaves plenty of time
for audience questions and interaction. It cLOGNULL
NowTransReader::ReadIt() JJFileMT::Truncate(614377377) LOGNULL
NowTransReader::ReadIt() JJFileMT::Truncate(0) an be anything from a
serious (or comic) lecture (or both) to a multimedia extravaganza.
Your choice!
And as a gesture of appreciation (and perhaps some measure of small
compensation for your efforts), the Fest will comp your
registration
fee if your proposal is accepted by the Organizing Committee (which
consists of Rich Cuff, yours truly and a Magic 8 Ball we found in
Richâs
attic when looking for old Fest printed programs and giveaways. We
are
seeking your help in fashioning a balanced and diverse line-up of
topics
and speakers.
Make your suggestion/proposal to John Figliozzi at
<<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"
href="mailto:jfigl...@nycap.rr.com";>jfigl...@nycap.rr.com</a>
>
If you have any questions, we'll be happy to discuss them with you. And
even if you've never led a forum before, don't hesitate. We've
learned
that people tend to unfairly and inaccurately minimize their own
abilities.
We know you'll be great...but you have to let us in on what
you're thinking!
We promise a quick turnaround on your proposal once we are able to
survey the field.
Be a part of the 2018 Winter SWL Fest program!
