HAPPY NEW YEAR
from
Access Sacramento


On behalf of Access Sacramento, the Board of Directors, staff, members and volunteers, we wish you the very best this holiday season can bring.

 

We are so grateful for your help in the on-going process of "Making a Difference, One Voice at a Time."

Gary Martin
Access Sacramento
Executive Director

 

The community of producers who make television, radio and internet programs for Access Sacramento have never been more important. It's too easy to feel that today's headlines of mistrust and conflict overshadow the major triumphs of community spirit we find in an area described as the most diverse in America.

 

Let this holiday season remind us all of the progress of free speech as Access Sacramento promotes the outreach of our community voices.

 

We are particularly grateful to the Sacramento Metropolitan Cable Television Commission for its annual funding support that provides the primary means of keeping yoru voice alive in Sacramento County and the communities of Carmichael, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Rancho Cordova and Sacramento.

 

This support builds the strength of democracy itself, when government allows its citizens to be heard, and Access Sacramento is proud to be a partner in that process.

 

In this holiday season and as we begin 2015, Access Sacramento says "Thanks!" and wishes you a new year filled with health, happiness and prosperity.

 

Gary Martin

Executive Director
