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

John:
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 <www.swlfest.com>.
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

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 <<mailto:jfigl...@nycap.rr.com>jfigl...@nycap.rr.com>
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!
73 and 88 to the Ladies (with due apologies to Ian McFarland)
