RADIO DAY BY THE BAY 2014 - LIVE! In ALAMEDA

The California Historical Radio Society, new in Alameda, invites you to our biggest fundraiser of the year this Saturday. Radio Day By The Bay 2014 - Now... LIVE! In Alameda is always a great event and lots of fun. If you love radio, this is the place to be. Being the new owners of a 114 year old building and having Radio Day at our new location in Alameda presents challenges and exciting opportunities, so we need your help and support. Radio Central is a fine old building but it needs lots of work to create the CHRS Vintage Radio Museum and the Bay Area Radio Hall Of Fame. Our fundraising drive continues so we can create our new facility to celebrate Radio. CLICK HERE TO SUPPORT CHRS
