Title
MWOTRC: Metro Washington Old Time Radio Club
Description
MWOTRC has monthly meetings in Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church at 2217 Columbia Pike in Arlington, VA. (See our meeting schedule here.)
The Metropolitan Washington Old Time Radio Club (MWOTRC) was created in 1984 by our President Jim Burnette (1945-2001). The initial group of charter members, consisting of a half-dozen OTR fans, was drawn from the region of Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia. Monthly meetings have been held ever since then, usually in Northern Virginia. The purpose of this hobby group has always been to exchange, collect, and preserve any materials from the Golden Age of Broadcasting. Individually, and as a club, members collect and share OTR audio copies, books, scripts, and related radio broadcast materials.
By the end of the first year, the club had grown to 34 members and had established a cassette library and an infrequently published newsletter. The club donated its services by presenting special OTR panel discussions and programs at the Smithsonian, NOVA College, the Newseum in Arlington, VA, and numerous senior citizens' groups and retirement homes.
