My Summit Highlights of 2009

It's December and I'm looking back at all the great people I've met and have gotten to know since I started volunteering this year at The Summit, like the wonderful staff, on-air personalities and specialty program hosts, members, volunteers, and you never know when The Woovs might show up! Of all the awesome Studio C performances I've experienced this year, I'd say my most memorable and moving was Matisyahu. Coming up in a few days is the 2nd Annual Summit Member Family Event, with ice-skating, food, and music by BE Mann. Can't wait to see you there!

What's So Great About Akron?

I had the honor yesterday to sit in on a meeting of representatives of many of Akron's non-profit agencies. You could feel the mutual love and admiration in the air. All these people who give of themselves and motivate others to do the same, all for the community they love and call home. I was there just as a 91.3 The Summit volunteer. It was truly inspiring! I think of John Mayer's song "Waiting on the World to Change". Instead of complaining, do something. Even a tiny positive step is a step in the right direction. It can snowball, and kindness is contagious. When I think of Akron, I think of warm, caring, involved people not waiting for a change, but striving to make good things happen. So if any of you who live in or around Akron, had to suddenly leave, what would you miss most about Akron?

No Singing Frogs

I have a tiny backyard pond, and usually in the summer the frogs raise a ruckus. Not this summer. Maybe it's been too cool for their liking. Anyone out there have any thoughts?

Now Our Stereo System's Complete

My wonderful husband John has hooked up a Mac Airport Express.  I don't know the technical magic involved but it allows us to listen to 91.3 The Summit's HD channels on the stereo, instead of just online.  There is nothing wrong with listening online, but it's so much better to experience great music through your home stereo system.  We live near enough to Akron to pick up The Summit on the stereo, with John's antenna installation, but I so love the HD2 channel which plays the music from the late 70s through the early 90s.  The music that turned John and I on to WAPS in the first place, all those years ago.  

Now we always have something awesome to listen to, and it's all 91.3 baby! 

Show Your Summit Spirit Wherever You Go

Share your travel tales, or how you enjoy down- time while listening to The Summit, and a photo with the 91.3 logo. My husband and I and our three children have just returned from a memorable trip to Italy. I thought it would be nice to have our picture taken in front of the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, while holding a Summit logo that I had cut from a bag. Next trip, I'll try to make sure that the logo is more visible. Wouldn't it be cool to see where in the world people are loving The Summit? Maybe even in your own backyard. Send your photo stories to summitblog@gmail.com or to The Summit's Flickr page.

Summer in Akron

I should have been born in Norway or Sweden, cause I love the cool weather today.  It's the last day of June and a high of only 74 F (that's 21 C).

That's all I have on my mind today (:D)  

Love one and other
