A Day In The Park

July 1994

Sunday, June 12, 1994 KRCL Radio presented its annual Day in he Park at Liberty Park. Booth space for non-profit organizations was available. I made up a banner that said "Humanists of Utah" and assembled some literature. Flo Wineriter and I were a little late in getting there so all the "good" spots in the shade seemed to be gone. It looked like we were doomed to sit in the hot sun. I noticed some prime real estate between a socialist workers group and a table representing Trees of Utah. We asked them both to scoot just a little to the side and make room for our modest table. It worked out very well. Flo and I spent four-plus hours talking to dozens of people about humanism. We handed out upwards of 100 "What is Humanism" and "Humanist Manifesto" flyers and had 17 people sign up for free 3-month trial subscriptions to The Utah Humanist.

KRCL-91 FM is a public supported, non-commercial radio station. Programming is almost exclusively done by volunteers from the community. Programming by and for many diverse groups is heard weekly on KRCL. I wish to thank KRCL for the opportunity to put Humanists of Utah on public display. I also would like to encourage you to give KRCL a listen. If you tune in and are totally appalled--try again in an hour or two the next day. The programming changes drastically from hour to hour. Program guides are available to subscribers.
