All classes are on a first come, first serve basis so signing up right away is crucial. Mark your calendars for the final listings of the Orientation class!
We hope to see you there!

Veteran Access Producer Passes
Sharon Durette: The Gospel Lady
It is with deep regret and condolences that Access Sacramento takes this time to acknowledge the passing of a dear series producer, our very own Gospel Lady, Sharon Durette.
 Sharon first started producing programs with Access in March of 2005, and through her determination and perseverance retired with nearly three hundred television productions to her credit. As a television producer, Sharon made all of the efforts to have her programs on our public access channel, as well as streaming worldwide. The focus of her television series, "The Gospel Lady", was to share her life experiences with the Lord through scripture-based instruction and prayer. During breaks in producing programs here at Access, she would often stop you in the hallways, take hold of your hand, and pray with and for anyone in need. Though she had many personal challenges, she enjoyed taking the time to bring her small puppy into the Main Office to lighten the mood and brighten our day! She will be always loved and dearly missed here at Access Sacramento! |

Hearing Today on Cuts Proposed for Technology Discounts to Non-Profits
Non-profit community- based organizations like Access Sacramento who enjoy a discount on telecommunications services may lose this valuable program under changes proposed by the California Public Utilities Commission.\
California's Teleconnect Fund is funded through surcharges and works to help the community crack the digital divide by providing more robust connectivity for non-profits, schools, libraries and hospitals than they otherwise would be able to afford.
