From The Executive Director

Some equipment has been updated, some volunteers have come and gone, but we have the same mission we always have…

“AOTV is dedicated to community improvement and enrichment through responsible, diverse and informative programming.”

I can’t write this page without talking about volunteers. Volunteers are what make this place great! Check through the pages and you’ll see all the programs and upgrades done by volunteers. Check out the page that says that volunteers donated 5,300 hours to AOTV. That’s incredible! The subcommittees work hard all year long to update our video technology and the IT infrastructure. The Facilities committee makes sure the building is holding up. The biggest and most exciting accomplishment in 2009 was the house was painted! It was done by volunteers! It’s exciting to enter the driveway and look at such a beautiful Victorian.

In 2009, AOTV added the new Community Bulletin Board, which is able to show current weather, upcoming programming and organizations’ announcements simultaneously. We also installed a new digital video server, so all the programming is now computerized. We are no longer limited to 10 DVD players, and can play a multitude of shows even when no one is physically at AOTV.

I’m excited to enter our 15th year and to continue our traditions while setting new goals for the station and ourselves. I’d like to thank the Board of Directors for their guidance and support, and especially our President of the last three years, Bonnie Benjamin. I pledge to continue to work as hard for you, as you have for AOTV.
