‘Radio Memories’ Event Canceled

After receiving feedback from our members and reviewing our financial situation, the REPS board has decided to cancel the October 18, 2014 ‘Radio Memories’ event and focus our efforts on having a REPS Showcase slated for either March or April of 2015.

By canceling  ‘Radio Memories’ and moving up the date of our annual Showcase event to a month that is labeled ‘off season’ by hotels and airlines, we believe we can now have this bigger event thanks to the outpouring of generous donations by our members and clever cost saving ideas.

We are still falling short of our intended goal, but we are actively looking into other avenues for revenue. Rest assured that the money donated towards ‘Radio Memories’ will be applied to the 2015 Showcase event.   If for any reason that event does not happen, then we will refund those donations that are received to the original generous donating member.

We welcome any input or help in making the Showcase Event a success.

— Shaun Clancy, Vice-President of REPS

Video from the 2006 Radio Memories featuring My Favorite Husband starring Dick Van Patten, Rosemary Rice and Grant Goodeve.  Performed in the style of a live radio show.  “My Favorite Husband” was a popular CBS radio show starring Lucille Ball which aired from 1948-1951. CBS wanted her to take the series to television but she opted to make a few changes including having her husband, Deisi Arnaz, co-star. Thus “I love Lucy” was born.
