Jim, are these recorded and saved online for future viewing? if these were recorded and saved to YouTube or another site, like ours, we can highlight and share them to our more than 62,600 followers on Twitter, for example. We can add this value to the MHC at MAC.
Scott,
I am afraid recording is beyond our capacities.
Jim, I can recommend a top-notch podcaster if your club is interested. A friend and fellow Monmouth U. alumni, Steve Lubetkin, has his own podcasting company based in the NYC tri-state area. Fairly certain they can accomplish this remotely for you. Could be a potential revenue stream for your club and us. Something viable to consider.
