The board welcomed friends and members to the 25th Annual Membership meeting. More than 40 folks attended in the TV studio and many more watched from home as the 25th annual event was cablecast “live” on channel 17. A complete report on our activities is posted on the web site under “What’s New?” www.AccessSacramento.org
The Board members cited many success stories from the past year and included many video highlights and testimonials. Thanks were extended to three Board members leaving the Board. Colleen Belcher (Sacramento Press) and Ellen Arden-Ogle (CRC Comm. Studies Chair) are leaving after one year of service.
