Manufacturing 2.0
Rock River Valley manufacturing experts discuss the many facets of manufacturing: technology, education, training, events, people and any other aspects of this important segment of our economy. They’ll use this blog to get the word out and solicit feedback on local and global manufacturing. They hope to better engage our employers, employees and our future work force and increase their understanding of manufacturing.

Opportunity to put your cause on TV

Add comment January 25th, 2009

The following is an announcement that will surely interest you! Maybe we just need to get on and speak about how Manufacturing is still here! While out today I ran into someone who was so sure my company must be closing as a result of the economy “Since I was in the manufacturing sector!” If you think of it tell five people you meet today that we don’t exisit without someone making what we touch and feel everyday. Like a wise manufacturing expert once said “Everything from your rattle to the handle on your casket is manufactured!” Even in a growing service economy this is still true…..I believe that Rockford is still the BEST place that those things can be made! I still love manufacturing!

NOW FYI—-
Good morning,

I’m letting all of you know that I will be hosting WREX’s long-running Sunday morning program, 13 Cares, for the foreseeable future. The show airs at 10:30 Sunday mornings. Studio taping occurs Thursday mornings.

If you or your organization have a message to the community and would like to come on the show, just give me a call. I try to book the shows several weeks in advance.

I’m especially interested in current events that affect the Rockford region. Public policy, education, the arts, the economy… pretty much anything that touches our lives. Also, if you have a special guest or well-known talent coming into town, perhaps they’d like to come on the show.

I can’t promise that everybody who asks will get on, but I’d still love to hear from each of you!

Sincerely,

Bob Schaper
