Testimonials Needed
 Support Access Tucson by taping a testimonial Saturday, July 9th from 2:30 to 6:00pm. Long-time members, Dan Harrigan of Harrigan Afterhours and Carl Fiske of Exist Kind are spearheading this event.
Come by the studio and tape a 60 second testimonial in support of Access Tucson. Tell viewers about the contribution your program makes to the community. Emphasize what Access Tucson means to you and how it's helped you make an impact on the community.
Also, remind the viewers to help with monetary support because that's what is most needed now. Without funding, Access Tucson can not survive. These testimonials will be broadcast between regularly scheduled programming.
Be there or be square! And then stick around for another downtown event starting at 6pm,
2nd Saturdays Downtown.
Saturday, July 9th, 2:30 - 6:00 pm
