Welcome to the CMC

At the annual membership meeting on August 15th Byron Strickland was named GRTV's voluteer of the year.  This was Byron's second time winning, he and Charles Bennet shared the honor last year.  All of us at GRTV want to thank Byron for all his hard work and dedication.  Volunteers are the core of a public access tv station and we couldn't do it without them.
