This costs you nothing - the 3% comes from SaveMart as a supporter of our nonprofit organization. Once you get into the habit of remembering your SHARES card, the rest is simple. Thanks to you and SaveMart for supporting Access Sacramento.

In four focus groups, Access Sacramento collected information about its strategic plan, membership services, equipment and training needs and its digital future.
The event had high energy and enthusiasm and JoAnn Fuller, Chair of the Board of Directors, said she was very pleased with the crowd and the quality of the information gathered.
"Now the information can be analyzed and sorted for common themes," said Gary Martin, Access Sacramento Executive Director. "It's great to have real feedback about both the good things we do and the areas where we can improve."
Ten Access Sacramento producers recruited new crew members and promoted the variety of shows that are created with Access Sacramento's support.
