Last Friday was Mountain Fair in Carbondale. GrassRoots TV partnered with the Sopris Sun to serve delicious libations to the thirsty people of Mountain Fair. The tips generated from our service were donated towards both community media non-profits. All of the volunteers dressed up and made the beer shift so much fun; we even had a little dance we did. If you made it out to the beer garden on Friday, thanks for your contribution to community media.
I have to say that CCAH (Carbondale Council for Arts and Humanities), the producers of Mountain Fair, nailed it by creating this revenue generator for local non-profits. They could have easily said, "to heck with training all these different non-profit volunteers, we'll just hire people." Instead all the money generated from tips went to great homes.
The money GrassRoots TV raised working for tips will be invested into our 3rd Street Center office space. GrassRoots is very close to opening our office door in that building. It should happen sometime this month. What that means is we're slowly creeping toward opening our studio doors. First, the office doors, then the studio doors. Once the studio doors are open we will be willing and able to produce Carbondale community programs.
If you missed us at the beer booth and are interested in helping GrassRoots TV open our C'dale office, you can call us to contribute: 970-925-8000.
