RAIN met Rhoda Epstein, a community information specialist, pres.ently working out of the National Citizens' Committee on Broadcasting. office doing a nationwide community communications directory. Walking into her space, seeing boxes and boxes of information, I walked into a contiguous, overlapping, coincidental world: this must be why I came to D.C. Rhoda will be moving to RAIN to help us expand our community information exchange base. She is currently completing a master's degree thesis at the University of Toledo (the only school in the country offering a program in community information development). She is one of the incorporators of the National Federation of Community Broadcasters; has a unique collection of information, especially in the area of community communications; keeping track of over 1,000 groups and individuals; experience in broadcast programming; and a neverending delight in how people find out about each other and/or how they get from one idea or project to another.
