Station Manager Neenah Ellis thanks WYSO's volunteers.WYSO held it's annual volunteer dinner last night at Antioch McGregor. Guests were treated to clips from the StoryCorps archives.
StoryCorps, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to recording, preserving, and sharing the stories of Americans with all backgrounds and beliefs, will arrive in Dayton, OH on April 19, 2010 as part of its cross-country MobileBooth tour. StoryCorps’ MobileBooth—an Airstream trailer outfitted with a recording studio—will be parked at the James H. McGee Plaza in front of the Schuster Center in downtown Dayton at 2nd and Main Streets and will be open six days a week until May 15, 2010.
StoryCorps’ MobileBooth interviews are conducted between two people who know and care about each other. A trained StoryCorps facilitator guides participants through the interview process. At the end of each 40-minute recording session, participants receive a complimentary CD copy of their interview. With participant permission, a second copy is archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress for future generations to hear.
While in Dayton, StoryCorps will be hosted by WYSO, which is committed to providing volunteers to help out. Contact the station at wyso@wyso.org, if you are interested volunteering.
Guests were also treated to a preview of Jerry Kenny's WYSO Morning Edition show.
