OUT IN THE COMMUNITY
• Friday is Third Friday in Downtown Salisbury. The theme for this Friday is Comicon and our Stations will have a presence that will include standees of The Flash and Arrow so that folks can take selfies with them. We will also have themed temporary tattoos for the kids and snap some shots of our own for the web. This is the next to the last Third Friday for the season and, if you haven’t had an opportunity to stop down, time is running out.
• Sunday afternoon (noon to 3PM) we will co-host a Trick or Treat event for the little kids at Perdue Stadium. If you have an interest in volunteering, see Sarah Truitt.
STATION VISITORS
• Tuesday and Wednesday, Nick Dalley, Talent Coach and Consultant, will be working with our News Team. He is scheduled to work from La Quinta, so not sure how much he will actually be in the building but, if you see him, be sure to say hi.
• Wednesday at 11, Bobby Coon, the new Communication Services Coordinator with the Delmarva Shorebirds, will be stopping by the Station to introduce himself to our Management Team.
REMINDERS:

In advance, thanks for your cooperation.
STATION FREEBIES!
• Congratulations to Chris Scalice, winner of last week’s drawing for the set of black and white ABC logo’d coasters in a holder. This week’s Station Freebie is a pair of blue and white Beer Cave T-shirts from Gordy’s Tiger Mart. Two shirts (size XL) mean we will have two winners.
