In April, CMN teamed up with the Royal Oak Community Coalition to videotape a marathon of Reaching Out segments featuring local organizations that have partnered with the ROCC. Some of the organizations that took part included Youth Under Construction, Royal Oak Sandlot League, Oakland Family Services and the YMCA, to name a few. CMN Executive Director Jay Wiencko (pictured above, second from left) sat in as host/interviewer on all the segments, which are currently airing on CMNtv. Pictured above with Jay are, from left, Jennifer Sheridan and Diane Dovico of the ROCC, Joe Johnson (CMN), Richard Granke (ROCC) and James Albee (CMN.)

Congratulations to the graduates of CMN's Winter Video Production Workshops. More than 50 people successfully completed the 10-week workshops, which is a new CMN record! Classes were taught on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday evenings, with each class producing a final project. Sound Lab, Best Friends and Oakland Kaleidoscope were produced by members of the class. The workshops ended with Access Ability, a fun quiz show that tests the graduates on the knowledge they've obtained over the past ten weeks. The winning team was made up of Jim Lasak of Troy, Bob Ingalls of Royal Oak and Travis Obayan of Royal Oak. Pictured above are some of the graduates who took part in Access Ability.
Our Spring Workshops are underway with two full classes. Our next set of workshops will begin in September. For more information call (248) 589-7778 or signup online HERE.
