Great Easter Radio supports Local First Alliance and Vital Communities in many ways beyond their Green Circle Sponsorship. Bob Sherman produces and/or records all of the LFA radio PSAs and member spotlights. Nichole Romano, National Sales Manager at Great Eastern, is a valuable member of the LFA Steering Committee. Both Bob and Nichole are active participants in the LFA High School Communications Contest as mentors to the senior Media Arts students at Hartford Area Career & Technical Center. And, look for the Great Eastern table at Flavors of the Valley this year as they live stream from the premier local food & farm expo.
