It finally feels as though we're actually going to have warm weather on a consistent basis moving forward. I hope you had the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Speaking of opportunity, I would like to invite you to take advantage of the improvements we're making at Access Framingham.

We've recently upgraded the technology in the member edit bays and installed new desks to create a more spacious environment. Older mismatched chairs will soon be replaced by matching, multi-positioning, comfortable new chairs.

 

As a result of these changes, member and intern feedback has been great now that editing is more enjoyable with faster processing and less downtime.

As you'll see we're also scheduling more edit workshops so you can take advantage of your membership and the recent upgrades in a more relaxed, efficient and supportive environment. So, stop by and see how things are changing and how you can continue to develop your skills to tell the stories you want to see on television. 

We also launched a three-part studio workshop that introduces participants to the different roles and responsibilities of each studio crew position and how technology i n the studio and control room functions to create a television program. This hands-on workshop provides a greater understanding of how to produce a quality studio program and, of course, how much fun it is to collaborate with others to create the magic of television.

I would like to publicly say, 'thank you' to our interns. We had a wrap party for them with cookies and ice cream as an offer of appreciation as they head home for their much deserved summer break.

 

We enjoyed teaching them how to put together news packages, feature stories, meet deadlines, make mistakes and experience how it feels to anchor a newscast. During ice cream consumption, they shared individual stories of their fears, achievements, failures and what they learned along the way. They had a lot of fun and did a great job. We wish them continued success in all their endeavors!

 

T hanks everyone & we hope to see you soon at Access Framingham!
