Glad to be sharing another Why I Belong at Midpen post. Please say hello to Fred. Here is what Fred has to say about why he belongs:

After retiring, the Media Center was first on my list as a great place to volunteer - the community work they do is outstanding, and the technical resources there is a playground for a retired techie like me. The other volunteers are creative, dedicated members who create award-winning shows. Several have become close friends as well. I have been volunteering there for 17 years, and plan on being part of the Media Center’s success for years to come.

Say hello to Jo everyone! Here is Jo to say why she feels like she belongs at Midpen Media:

When I was 5 years old watching TV shows in Tucson, Arizona....I told everyone what job I wanted to do when I grew up. All I ever wanted to do was work in a television station! Well, it took a while....but fast forward to 2015 when I found a fantastic place to update my skills and work at Midpen Media Center! Not only did I get to do everything on the production crew....but I was benefiting our community by working on lots of interesting, valuable shows and the people I work with are great!
