Interested in Volunteering<br />
to Videotape Events,<br />
Classes, or Activities at<br />
the Center?<br />
We have an exciting opportunity<br />
before us to help inform the<br />
community about goings-on at<br />
the Senior Center, but we need<br />
a volunteer – or several – interested<br />
in learning how to use the<br />
HCAT remote camera.<br />
Once a volunteer is trained<br />
(a very simple process that can<br />
be arranged at a mutually convenient<br />
time), the camera can<br />
be checked out from the HCAT<br />
studios and used to record events,<br />
classes, or activities at the Center,<br />
for interviewing staff or volunteers,<br />
and for general information<br />
about the Center. Once<br />
taped, the segment can be used<br />
by HCAT for broadcast purposes.<br />
Anybody with an interest in<br />
learning about use of a video<br />
camera, photography interest or<br />
experience, or wanting to learn a<br />
new skill would be ideal for this<br />
opportunity. The time commitment<br />
is whatever you want to<br />
make of it. To learn more or<br />
express your interest, please see<br />
