Members of the Selma Rotary Club had a good time Monday morning as they went live on air for the group’s first ever Radio Day.

Anyone listening to Dixie Country 98.5 and 100.1 could hear ads from sponsoring businesses read by club members.

“Radio Day is a major fundraiser for the Rotary Club,” said member Lee Youngblood. “Of course, Rotary Club uses money that we gather from this event for their projects.”

The money raised by club members will go toward various causes the club supports.

“We go around to the different businesses, and we sell ads,” Youngblood said. “We are the announcers. We’ll use the radio station, and we will present those ads. Some of them are serious, and some of them are funny.”

Club members made sure to have a great time while doing their work.

“We’re not professional announcers so it’s kind of a unique situation, and it’s been very successful this year,” Youngblood said. “We’ve raised a good bit of money, and we really hope to be doing a big time next year.”

The members laughed and cutup while reading off the ads, making the segments anything but boring.

“First of all, [I want] to thank Mike Reynolds of the radio station for letting us come here, and George Henry for the talent at the mic,” said Bob Kelly, a member of Rotary Club and Radio Day chairman. “Without them, this wouldn’t have happened at all. It has just been a lot of fun down here — a few bumps in the road, but nothing we couldn’t handle.”

The club started at 6 a.m. Monday morning reading off ads and joking around on air, and continued until 11 a.m.

“It’s fun for us because we’re here in the studio, and once we get back to the Rotary Club and tell them how much fun we had, we know we’re going to have a lot more people here the next time we do this,” Kelley said. “It’s just too much fun to miss.”
