[Imc] Re: HOMELESSNESS MARATHON HOST REMOVED FROM AIR

[Mick Woolf]

Jeremy in fact has been offered a few host sites already for next year.
He is in need of very responsible people who can assist him in contacting
community AND public radio stations for next year's marathon.  It's a huge
job, and the success of more stations who have carried it in the past make
it even bigger.  You can contact him, if you're interested, at
radio at ightlink.com--Mick
