Colleen Rortvedt
Radio & Reading
An old friend of Maino joins the show to talk a bit about her broadcast history. Jo-Jo Shutty-MacGregor talks about being the first female traffic reporter in Metro Detroit back in the day. She tells the story of the station she worked at that was just over the border in Canada, CKLW. Her stories of being at a powerhouse radio station back in the day were extremely interesting. We actually received requests to have her back on the show, and Todd thinks she should fill in one morning when the guys are off! We found a great website that offers some great background on Jo-Jo. The excitement on the show continues when we welcome Colleen Rortvedt with the Appleton Public Library to the show. After a very large construction project, the library is about to reopen with expanded space and programs. They have the grand opening planned for Saturday, February 15th. Maino is excited to use the new card catalog.

Coats & Books
It's that time of year! The Salvation Army of Greater Green Bay's Nicole Hanley and Renee Main help get us in the holiday spirit by talking about the Coats for Kids campaign that is about to wrap up and their bell-ringing campaign for the holidays. Renee threw down a gauntlet and challenged Jim and John to compete to see who could raise the most money this season. They also invited Jim's dog, Milton, to join. Then, the Appleton Public Library Director joins to update us on the new library! Colleen Rortvedt says that due to patience and persistence, the new facility will open in early 2025!
