We had an extremely busy on the May 15th, 16th and 17th weekend that packed in four remotes in less than three days. We spent our Friday night at Benning St. Bar and Grill on Friday night. Then the next day, we had two remotes in two different states. We kicked off Saturday morning at the Richmond Middle School for the Singing For Life blood drive that benefited the American Red Cross. It was a gorgeous Saturday morning and there was a softball game raging in the field connected to the school. We had a young listener, Chris, hang out with us during the game because he loves radio and hated watching his sister pitch...and something hilarious happened.

Chris, age 10, asked General Manager Schuyler 'Sketch' Evans how he could get a job at 99Rock when he was older. Sketch told him that he needed to study hard so he could get into Dartmouth. At that, Chris told Sketch that his grades were 'crudish' and that he was not good at spelling. Chris asked Sketch if Sketch was good at spelling; Sketch replied weakly in the affirmative. Shortly thereafter, Chris heard an advertisement on 99Rock for Comcast and asked Sketch if he knew how to spell Comcast. "Sure, C-O-M-C-A-S-T-E." He completely blew it! An instant Dartmouth Broadcasting classic....

After the Singing for Life remote the Street Team spent the afternoon recuperating from giving blood and then headed into north country to the Bear Ridge Speedway for the opening night of the 2009 racing season. The street team consisted of over 9 people and had a great time watching the cars go in tight circles around the clay track. It unfortunately began raining and the night was cut short.

The following morning we were back into action for a live remote in front of the Hanover Inn, it was the Great Upper Valley Race benefiting Headrest. Headrest is a local substance abuse assistance center based out of Lebanon. Dartmouth Broadcasting made it into the D the next morning and looked pretty good. On top of getting a little free notoriety around campus, the D was nice enough to include a quote from a listener testifying to the fact that radio works - "Heard about it on the radio, and it sounded like a good idea and a lot of fun," Robert Diehm, a participant from Norwich, Vt., said.

This past weekend, Sketch, Dave, and I spent Saturday morning with the Easter Seals, an organization to benefit disabled veterans in the Upper Valley. The organization held a car wash, a raffle and a bake sale at CVS in Hanover with 99Rock.

One of our favorite bi-annual remotes has to be the Vermonster 4x4. We all headed out there on Saturday May 2nd to give the people of Bradford Vermont a good time.

Overall, the directorate learned a great deal from the Board of Overseers meeting and feels relatively optimistic moving into the next two terms. We are all very appreciative of all the help that the Board of Overseers has conferred and would especially like to thank Carl Strathmeyer and for their work in helping the directorate plan for this term and the fall. The directorate and I believe that the future of the station remains bright and the radio will continue to be a valued service on that Dartmouth Campus. Dartmouth Broadcasting serves as a medium for discussion, expression, and news for students while simultaneously as a business where students can prepare for their futures. Dartmouth Broadcasting will remain a service to the Dartmouth Student body and community. If any Alumni has any questions or ideas regarding the station, feel free to contact me or sketch.
As the group continues to discuss, Hoagie '12 is looking good.
Dave Lumbert '12 enjoys his face time as Shinian and Zach listen intently. Carl and Matt look ravenously at their food after a long day of planning.

With Spring in the air Dartmouth Broadcasting is full of a new optimism. Recently, the station attended Free Cone day at Ben and Jerry's and met face to face with a lot of Dartmouth Students as well as listeners in the area.
