People's United Bank Donates $1000 to LPCTV's Building Project

LPCTV would like to thank the Ludlow branch of People's United Bank for its recent $1000 donation towards the new building project. This donation comes at a very critical time in the timeline of the project. "With the donation from People's, we are one-step closer towards meeting our goal for this first phase of construction", said Executive Director Patrick Cody. "I am personally impressed with the bank's continued support of community organizations", he added. In terms of total fundraising, LPCTV is closing in on the $100,000 mark, and we need $125,000 to make Phase 1 happen. Phase 1 includes all the HVAC, the electrical, insulation, sheet rock, one bathroom, and the enclosure of the studio.

New Cameras!...Courtesy of e-Vermont Community Broadband Project
Thanks to a recent grant from e-Vermont, via the Ludlow Community Broadband project, LPCTV has 3 new digital video camcorders for community use. New cameras were long-needed and will replace the Canon GL1 cameras that have been in constant use since 2001.
The new additions are Canon VIXIA High Definition cameras that record onto internal hard drives. They can also record onto solid state flash memory cards. Bye, bye tape!
While the cameras are available for community use now, they also will be an integral piece to the enhanced training opportunities in LPCTV's planned new facility. Plans include a "Digital Learning Center" classroom, where group workshops in digital video making will be provided, from "concept to completion".
"The cameras we purchased with this e-Vermont grant help us stay current with where the industry is and where it's headed, so there can be more value to the training we are able to provide", notes Executive Director Cody. Fundraising is well underway for the renovation project. For more information on LPCTV's expansion plans, contact Patrick Cody.

Bruce and Bruce Calling the Games
Notice anything new with the coverage of the Black River basketball games lately? Volunteer cameraman extraordinaire Bruce Perry has been joined by Bruce Schmidt, who is doing play-by-play commentary. We put a call out, trying to get Mr. Perry some support out in the field, and Bruce Schmidt rose to the occasion. Team Bruce & Bruce is helping to keep the community connected to Black River sports through LPCTV.
And we certainly appreciate it the effort, boys.
