Every time a producer comes in to do a show or a supporter comes to visit, they ask, "Where are we now?" The news is that we are still at the City Manager's 2nd budget proposal recommending $150,000 in funding and a hold on selling the building.
This is half of our full funding of $303,500 which is what really we need.
Leslie Epperson, the Chair of the Access Tucson Board of Directors is calling for an emergency board meeting Wednesday 6/4 at 5:15pm to talk about options and what we can do with $150,000.
Stand up for Access Tucson.
The next Tucson City Council meeting is Tuesday, June 3rd at 5:30pm, in the Mayor and Council Chambers, City Hall, 255 West Alameda.

Surplus Equipment Auction
Access Tucson is having a Surplus equipment auction. This is a great way to get your hands on older equipment that we no longer have a use for and support Access Tucson!
We use Public Surplus to conduct the auctions and collect payment - you can browse the current auctions here:
http://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/accesstucson,az/browse/home
This will continue for a few months as we have a lot of equipment built up since the last sale in 2011, so check back frequently!
Good luck to all who bid!
Recycle, repurpose and reuse. Put a nice piece of glass over the video switcher and you now have a really cool coffee table.
The switcher is approximately 44.5" L x 21.5" W x 5.25" H.

Kids' Summer Classes
Start June 9th
Don't Miss Out!
Calling all Kids, ages 9 and up!
Summer is just around the corner and Access Tucson is offering media classes for kids. 2014 will be Summer #19. Explore the world of television production by creating your own TV show, movie or animation. Work in a team. Utilize writing and communication skills. Create with sound and images. Produce your own messages for television and the internet.
"Today's definition of literacy is more than reading and writing. In order to be functionally literate in our media-saturated world, children and young people - in fact, all of us - have to be able to read the messages that daily inform us, entertain us and sell to us. As the Internet becomes a fact of life, the critical thinking skills that help young people navigate through traditional media are even more important."
With an easy-to-use animation program, imagination and a soundtrack, students can make their own cartoons. This class lets students explore art and computers.
Class Instructor: Darious Britt was born and raised in Jacksonville, North Carolina. After 4 years as a Jet Mechanic in the United States Air Force, he decided to pursue his passion for storytelling as a director.
