This PSA has been a few years in the making, and the e-mail trail leading up to it, if laid down, end-to-end, would probably go from the north of California, right down to the Mexican border ;).
Bill has done a great job in getting this PSA aired. FYI - the name of the San Francisco filmaker who created this PSA is Mr. Rick Baciagaluppi, and we all owe him a great deal of thanks for providing this to the organization, gratis. Thanks to Rick, Bill and everyone who worked on this project. Best wishes, Adam Honigman -----Original Message----- From: Bill Maynard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 11:07 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [cg] PSA Aired! When I took on the task of getting the ACGA PSA (public service announcement) aired in the Sacramento area to help our local push for more community gardens, I knew I could get it aired locally; here is the exciting news! It not only made it to the local air waves; it will be aired throughout California as well ! The PSA made by the American Community Gardening Association made it to the air waves during a California agriculture program called "California Country" Sunday mornings at 9:30 am on ABC affiliate Channel 10, January 5 (Sacramento area). The PSA is a short 30 second visit with kids in a garden. It will be shown for the next few months (on a rotating schedule) during the show, which is aired throughout California. The PSA produced by a San Francisco filmmaker was welcomed and praised by the host of the TV show. It was the first time the PSA has aired in the country; and may be the first Community Gardening PSA to air ever! http://www.cacountry.tv/cctvlist.asp <http://www.cacountry.tv/cctvlist.asp> will give a listing of the programs schedule throughout California and may include dishnetwork and direct tv spots also... please watch for it... and send in a note that you have seen it....
