Orientation classes are free and open to the public. They last a little more than an hour. The orientation class is also a required step in becoming an Access Sacramento member and should be taken at your earliest convenience.   

 

The Orientation Class will give you a chance to ask questions and learn about our services and what we provide to the community and its members. We also will go over the standard classes we offer and member benefits as well as providing a tour of the radio and TV studios and digital media lab.   

 

All classes are on a first come, first serve basis so signing up right away is crucial. We hope to see you there!

Check out Game of the Week Friday
Rio Linda at Inderkum
7pm Channel 17


Though the start of the Sac-Joaquin Section football playoffs is still two weeks away, the Rio Linda Knights and Inderkum Tigers view this week's match-up as the championship game of the Tri-County Conference.  And with good reason.

Photo Courtesy: NatomasBuzz.com
Both teams enter this contest with identical 7-1 records.  However, Inderkum holds a 1-game lead over the Knights in the TCC Standings. The Tigers' defeat was a non-league setback vs. Monterey Trail, while Rio Linda's defeat was a league loss to River Valley.
