This award will grant up to one year of production assistance provided by WCCA, to help producers until they can sustain their productions independently.<br /><br />All you need to be eligible is to have an original idea for a program that will do one of the following:<br /><br /> 1. Address an unfilled community need<br /> 2. Add something new to WCCA's programming<br /> 3. Encourage others to participate and support WCCA<br /><br />To be considered:<br /><br /> 1. First, become a WCCA member. (<a href="http://www.wccatv.com/files/forms/PRODUCINGMEMBERSHIP.pdf" target="_blank">PDF form</a>)<br /> 2. Submit your proposal and treatment forms.<br /> 3. Attend a scheduled Producer Orientation.<br /> 4. Complete the Production Facilitation Award application (<a href="http://www.wccatv.com/files/Facilitator Award Application.doc" target="_blank">form</a>)<br /><br />Get out there and be a part of WCCA-TV 13. They are a great group of folks fighting to keep free speech on the airwaves. Being in the office is like spending time in the trenches, making community media that makes a difference.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20667310-116051263259138042?l=worcesterdiaries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carl Weaverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02648977646033098768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20667310.post-1160511930655008132006-10-10T13:21:00.000-07:002006-10-10T13:25:31.113-07:00Looks like you can see the daily Mass celebrated, the Rosary and more great local programming at the <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/tvmin/Menu11.html" target="_blank">Diocese of Worcester</a> web site.

For a long time now, Worcester has needed an<br />announcement list to facilitate and support the work many of us are doing. We<br />need a tool that helps new faces and new participants to quickly learn what is<br />happening here and how they can become more active.<br /><br />To subscribe to WORCESTER-ANNOUNCE, just send a reply to this email. You don't<br />need to add any text in your reply. You can also open up<br />http://lists.riseup.net/www/subrequest/worcester-announce in a web browser and<br />enter your email address in that page. If you have any problems, email<br />ben.dean.kawamura@gmail.com for help.<br /><br />The WORCESTER-ANNOUNCE list will have several local moderators who will<br />facilitate use of the list. This is not a discussion list. Only announcements<br />of interest to local progressives will be approved for distribution, and the<br />number of emails sent each week be significantly limited. WE DON'T WANT 8<br />zillion emails either !<br /><br />So that's the plan ........<br /><br />Less SPAM! Less Quadruplimultiplication of the same announcement! More real<br />info! More ACTION! A more united and stronger progressive community in the<br />Worcester area.<br /><br />Questions ?? -- Email ben.dean-kawamura@gmail.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20667310-115844810493872794?l=worcesterdiaries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carl Weaverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02648977646033098768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20667310.post-1156616223371191102006-08-26T11:13:00.000-07:002006-08-26T11:17:27.976-07:00Many thanks to Worcester's own <a href="http://lostinworcester.blogspot.com/" target="_new">Jim O'Connell</a> for sending this in!<br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1e3IO-nI9es"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1e3IO-nI9es" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="350" width="425"></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20667310-115661622337119110?l=worcesterdiaries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carl Weaverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02648977646033098768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20667310.post-1152738850913102002006-07-12T14:14:00.000-07:002006-07-12T14:20:11.270-07:00<h3 class="post-title">A Farewell</h3><br /><center> <a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Carlweaver-AFarewell683.mov"> <img src="http://blip.tv/uploadedFiles/Carlweaver-AFarewell161.jpg" border="0" /> </a></center> <center> <a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Carlweaver-AFarewell683.mov">Watch the video</a> </center><div class="blip_description"></div><a href="http://www.dropcash.com/campaign/carlweaver/pay_a_video_blogger/" rel="payment" style="display: none;">Donate</a><br />Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/so+long" rel="tag" target="_blank">so long</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/farewell" rel="tag" target="_blank">farewell</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/auf+wiedersehen" rel="tag" target="_blank">auf wiedersehen</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/goodbye" rel="tag" target="_blank">goodbye</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.dropcash.com/campaign/carlweaver/pay_a_video_blogger/" rel="payment" title="Make a donation" target="_blank">Help support a video blogger</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20667310-115273885091310200?l=worcesterdiaries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carl Weaverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02648977646033098768noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20667310.post-1150948376898594742006-06-21T20:48:00.000-07:002006-06-21T20:55:39.160-07:00Worcester's own <a href="http://www.pieandcoffee.org/" target="_blank">Mike Benedetti</a> sent me a link to his blog post and said I could repost it here.

The money raised will be used for test fees and preparation materials, including books and practice tests.</p><p>To get involved in the fundraiser or contribute money to this worthy cause, please <a href="mailto:cweaver@wcac.net">contact WCAC by email</a> or by phone at (508) 754-1176. You can also mail donations or stop by the office. The address is WCAC GED Fundraiser, 484 Main Street, Second Floor, Worcester, MA 01608.</p><p>Every dollar donated will help young people achieve their educational dreams.
