Summer Administator's Report for the BoD 15Aug97
Danielle Tassie

Radio Project Days:
The final project day of the summer was on Friday August 8th
1997, with the topic being "International Day", with
international programming running from noon intil midnight.  The
day also included an open house from 2pm -6pm, and an
international potluck at the station.  A Press release about the
day was faxed out to local newspapers, by John Muir.  There
were visitors on the day, and calls later from people tuning in
due to the announcement in the Examiner.

Summer Social:
The first summer social was a lounge party held on Sunday July
13th 1997 for all Trent Radio summer volunteers.  The party was
held at the Gordon Best Theatre in Peterborough.  Guests were
asked to dress up in "lounge" style, and a few brave souls
actually did this!

We shared the evening at the Gordon Best Theatre with a showing
of old National Film Board movies, which made for an
interesting, if not surreal evening.

The next social is an end of season picnic, on Sunday August
17th, on Armour Hill in Peterborough.  All Trent Radio
volunteers and their families are invited.

Archiving Parties:
There were three archiving parties this summer- one in the
afternoon, the other two in the evening.  They were all a great
opportunity to get programmers and operators (and even their
families!) together, while getting ALOT of work done, as the
supply of new Cd's recieved was steady throughout the summer.
Volunteers commented that they appreciated some of these at
night, as they can make it after work hours, and there were also
comments about enjoying learning about the ""behind the scenes"
action of trent radio.

I was glad to continue this Trent Radio tradition during the
summer.



Executive Producer Meetings:

There were 4 of these meetings throughout the summer season,
with all executive producers being invited.  We discussed
matters of scheduling, programming, any concerns of operators,
as well as updating everyone on station happenings.  Two of
these were also Potlucks.

Fall Planning:
I (Danielle  Tassie) have met with Barb Woolner on various
occassions to discuss plans for the season.  Barb and I revised
the Programme Proposals, Operator Guides, and Programmer Guides.
Tim Cromey is working on the layout and production of these
publications. I have contacted Tony Tarle about the Trent Radio
sticker, and this will go into the printers next week, with
stickers for college intro kits, and to distribute during Intro
week.

Office Hours:
Office hours remained 12 noon to 5pm Monday -Friday, during the
summer season.  As the summer went on office acitivity
increased, with more calls and visitors, many of whom asking
about fall programming.

Station Tours:
There were many informal tours of the station given throughout
the summer; new students to Trent and Peterborough, new
volunteers, and the new coordiator of the new Canadians Centre,
Larry Tlydsley.  Larry has expressed great intrest in getting
people from the new Canadians Centre involved somehow with Trent
Radio.  Larry and a man from the centre, Ho San did an Interview
with Dean Girard for International Day, and they will be in
touch with Trent Radio again in the fall. Looking back over the
summer, if ever given this type of opportunity again, I would
put more emphasis on getting people introduced to Trent Radio
this way - with tours and information.  It seemed to spark great
enthusiasm and further involvement with Trent Radio.

My contract officially ends Friday  August 15th, and there are
still a couple of loose ends to finish up ( getting the stickers
finished up), and I look foreward to being a part of events in
the fall!
