PCT Open House

Well, we've done it! With the help of a lot of cool volunteers and friends and the financial support
of our community, PCT has created a brand new media lab! The lab will enable many cool new video and web capabilities for
our users.
To celebrate we're inviting our community to an Open House where we'll have food, fun and a chance
to see the cool improvements up close! There will even be a ceremony with the mayor of Pacifica in attendence at 2pm!
Please join us d=for the fun. That's this coming Saturday June 24th. See you there!!
History:
In an effort to make way for some much needed technical improvements, PCT recently had a "Spring
Clean Up". We've already gotten rid of a lot of old monitors and items the station no longer needs. Then on Feb. 20th,
we saw station volunteers and 4-H kids come in and help us re-paint and spruce-up!
You guys are THE BOMB! Thanks for helping and we'll be sure to make you the first on the invited
list for an upcoming station "open house"
Congrats to the following PCT producers for a record setting 8 Awards!

PCT is supporting The Partnership for a Safe and Healthy Pacifica's (P.S.H.P.) program to reduce
youth access to alcohol. The effort, known as Teens Changing Attitudes on Alcohol is aimed at spreading awareness on social
norms around drinking and their consequences.
P.S.H.P. was formed in February 2005 after an alcohol related car accident took the lives of two
Pacifica teenagers —19-year-old Jonny Bier and 16-year-old Stephanie Echeverri.
The entire community came together to vow that such a tragedy would never happen in our town again. Other
agencies working on this effort include The Office of National Drug Control Policy, Jefferson Union High School District, The Youth Leadership Institute, Asian American Recovery Services,
Pacifica Police Department and the San Mateo County Health department.
To get involved in our exciting partnership watch the new program on PCT or contact P.S.H.P.::
Our wonderful board member Laura Trapani is spearheading a campaign to give folks who've never participated
the chance to become involved with the station. It's called the "Friends of PCT" membership.
In short, being a "friend" requires no technical skill building or getting behind a camera.
It means that you support our station and are proud to do so. Membership is only $10 for
the year (or higher if you like) and aside from showing your support of PCT it will also give you valuable
discounts at area retailers like Luigi's Pizza and others! Friends get a beautiful card to commemorate their support and to
show participating businesses for their discounts. So call us today to express your support! We'd love to hear from you!

Once again Community Media Needs you!
Under the terms of the new state law which regulates cable (DIVCA), ATT has entered into competittion
with Comcast to provide local Cable TV.
The plan ATT has put forward as it relates to Publlic, Education and Government channels (PEG ACCESS)
however, is not a sound one.
In San Mateo and other places, ATT is already rolling out a system where your cable box also serves
as an internet browser. They then place the local access channel onto their internet (I.P.) side along with many other
internet type offerings. The only 'access' to this content is by scrolling up to channel 99 and then selecting
from a drop down menu on a page full of drop down menus!
We are also a Community Technology Center for the 21st century, providing "hands on" education to
residents of all ages and walks of life. On this site, you'll find information about our activities and facilities, along
with descriptions of our special getaway programs. Please feel free to contact us at 650-355-8000.
