Today we said goodby to our beloved MOLLIE. This van has been with the GRCMC since 1997, transferring equipment to all of the WYCE Jammies and the MANY GRTV video projects.

We will miss her but recognize we need something more reliable as we continue to work with this wonderful community.

What are some memories or stories you have about MOLLIE?

The GRCMC staff enjoyed an outing at Relax At Rosa, listening to GR Live with WYCE. The band, Cabildo did not disappoint and the food trucks were yummy!
