Happy Holidays!

Our staff & Board members kicked off the holiday season with a fun get together at Little Mexico in Ludlow. It was nice to take a break from the nitty gritty and to socialize with one another.

Clockwise from lower left: Board President Wendell Perkins, V.P. Claire McKey-Berkman, Treasurer Bob Greenawalt, Board member Newt Rose, his friend Maddy, Executive Director Patrick Cody, Board member Sammy Blanchette, Field Producer Peter van Gorder, Producer Sarah Devereux, Board Secretary Lisa Hamm-Greenawalt, Station Mgr. Rebekah Fontaine, & her husband Brighton. We were missing a Board member and a few of our fellow staff members, but they were with us in spirit!

Happy holidays from our whole team!

Meet Caroline the Intern

Meet Caroline Wade, our new intern. She is a student at River Valley Technical Center, in the Audio-Video Production program, which has become quite the pipeline and feeder program for sourcing personnel. Caroline is working with us on Thursdays; she is so much of a go-getter that she is also working with our colleagues at our "sister station" down the road at SAPA-TV in Springfield. Caroline is working on studio shows, the Cavendish After School program, and helping with our social media.

Building Project Given a Boost from VT Mutual Insurance Group

We would like to thank Vermont Mutual Insurance Group Charitable Giving Fund for donating $5,000 towards the completion of the build-out of our multi-media facility. We received the news, along with a check in the mail, earlier this week. This grant moves us that much closer towards the project becoming a reality; we are now 70% of the way towards our goal of $175,000. More than $35,000 has come from grants, including this one; read about the other grants that we have received HERE .

The remainder of the funding received is from private donations, as well as investment income.

We are getting close to being able to line up contractors. There will be more to come on this, as we gear up to make a final fundraising push.
