Turnout for the kickoff meeting exceeded the expectations of the sponsors. The room was filled with people interested in learning more about the documentary series. There were local organizations represented in the foyer allowing for some networking and sharing of information prior to the start of the meeting. Kathleen Crookham, Chairperson of the Merced County Board of Supervisors welcomed and thanked the attendees for their participation. After the meeting, there was an excitement about the series and the opportunities for our community to take action. If you attended, please add your comments. If you missed it, be sure and ask questions and watch the series which begins on March 27th at 10 pm on PBS stations KVPT, KQET, and KQED.
