Access Tucson: Celebrating Free Speech Benefit
Annual Meeting

 

Access Tucson Studio A 

Thursday, April 12th at 6pm

 

Please gather to hear the results of the 2012 Board of Directors election, celebrate our volunteers and learn what the future holds. You will also hear a general overview of Access Tucson's progress over the last year.

 

And most immediately in the future is the upcoming programming change. On July 1st, Access Tucson will begin programming one channel instead of our current three. We will discuss the consequences and opportunities of this change.  

 

By the way, you still have a day or so to get your ballot in. The accounting firm DeVries CPAs of Arizona must receive your ballot either through the mail or in person by 5pm this Tuesday, April 10th. If you haven't mailed your ballot yet, it is probably best, at this point, to drop off your ballot at the DeVries CPAs of Arizona office located at 4349 E. Fifth Street.
