ActonTV Hosts Holiday Party

December 14, 2023

ActonTV hosted their Annual Meeting and Holiday Party on Wednesday December 6 at their offices at 16A Craig Rd. The staff and members of the Board of Directors put out a generous buffet for the guests. The studio was transformed into a festive cocktail party venue. The guests were encouraged to explore the studio and camera rooms and to ask questions about the organization.

Five awards were presented at the annual ceremony:

Member of the Year: Sam Sullivan-Fieldman

Youth Member of the Year: Lindsay Wolfson

Producer of the Year: Pervin Chowdhury

Community Impact Award: Bettina Abe

Lifetime Achievement Award: Tom Jacoby

In his presentation, Director Marc Duci called for donations to ActonTV. He said that the primary source of funding for Acton TV—cable subscriptions—is shrinking due to the increasing popularity of streaming technology and the decline in cable TV subscribers. The organization has had to scale back significantly on staff and the number of productions they are able to work on. It relies greatly on donations and sponsorships from members of the community to keep the doors open and the mission alive. Duci said financial support helps bring community members together and promotes free speech and creative expression in Acton.
