become better financially informed."

productions are and we are honored to participate in the GLOW!"

"PAC 14 offers
programs that are very informative with good community resources and
information. A great example would be the presentation on
double bypass surgery which was extremely interesting, particularly
showing how the team worked like a symphony. She also thought
it was wonderful how the doctor praised PRMC. In the past, she
has been unable to watch a show like this due to a family member
undergoing the procedure, but the way it was presented made it
easier because it touched us all in our lives."
-
Debbie Hickman
"We love PAC
14 and watch it all the time. The local shows are so
informative and interesting. Watching the council meetings
helps us stay informed. It is all great!"
-
Edith and Kenneth Nichols
"The
great things about PAC 14 are that it is localized, informative and
lets you know what is going on in the area and how the people that
live here share their ideas on how they deal with things and
government. I turn on PAC 14 a lot, but I really enjoyed
sitting down for a half an hour to watch "Watercolor Workshop" by
Keith Whitelock. I thank you for PAC 14!"
- Wayne Hancock
"I commend PAC
14 for celebrating and focusing on the good that youth and others do
for their communities. The show "Hometown Heroes" does a wonderful
job telling the stories of youth who have worked to make their
communities a better place. Highlighting their stories can encourage
others to get involved in community service. PAC 14 is the only
local source for this type of programming that I have found. Keep up
the good work, PAC 14!
- Karen Bell
"Since MAC (Maintaining Active Citizens), Your Area Agency on Aging,
has been on PAC 14, people have come up to us and said: "We did not
know MAC did this or that. Thanks for using PAC 14 to inform us." OR

able to help my mother - Yes, people do listen to PAC 14 and MAC's
programs are now better known because of this exposure.

PAC-14; the channel showcases an essential diversity of interests to

to engage in stimulating activities. I am always amazed that the
talent that we have in our area and PAC-14 is a great way to
showcase these talents. Additionally, the educational opportunities
are essential to the well-being of our community. PAC-14's quality,
staff, and professional programming are an asset to Greater
Salisbury. Thanks you for the opportunity to be a part of your
success."
- Mr. Dave B. Ganoe, local
photographer and PAC 14 viewer
"PAC 14
is one of Wicomico County’s valuable assets. From the shows on this
public access channel we learn about other assets in the county.
People and non-profits have an opportunity to tell their stories to
the community. As a result we become more informed citizens and
connected with one another through a common shared experience. As
the producer of Hometown Heroes I am pleased that PAC 14 provides
the forum for us to tell the stories of young people who are making
a difference in our community. As I worked on this project over the
last four years I have always appreciated the technical assistance
for the PAC 14 staff in making Hometown Heroes a quality show. To
enhance what PAC 14 can offer to the public it needs ongoing support
from the public and our elected officials. Please take the
opportunity to learn what our elected officials can do to sustain
and develop this asset. You, too, can be Hometown Hero for PAC 14."
- Dr. Geroge Whtiehead,
"Salisbury's Promise"
"We have received a great deal of positive feedback from viewers of
the programs we have made by working with PAC14. Our TV
presentations reach a large number of community members who might
not be able to come to our workshops in person. After each program
airs, new viewers tell me, "I saw you on TV - I didn't know the Ward
Museum offered so many different things to do." PAC14 has been a
great help with our mission of preserving traditional art forms for
future generations."
- Cynthia Byrd, Ph.D.,
Curator and Folklorist, The Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, Salisbury

would be happy to tell you how I love the programming on PAC 14. I
don't get to watch it much but I even love to watch the city council
in session and the public meetings at times. I think this is a great
tool to help improve the health and information to our community. It
is heartening to see S.U. hosting so many of the health-related
topics. I especially love watching the history about Smith Island!!!
This is part of my heritage and now I can share it with my children
who will never know the island the way I did. Thank you so much for
providing such a great and unique service to the Eastern Shore."
- Sheri Birch
"My husband Emery's interview with Mr. Tilghman and PAC 14 was
a great success. I watched the whole interview with wide eyed
interest, and you know that I have been thoroughly acquainted with

neighbor said, it was fascinating...I believe Emery appreciated the
fact that there was local interest in his background and that you
guys treated it in a very professional way.

wonderful organization. The staff was very helpful and never seemed
to mind the 101 questions I would ask. I had no technical training
before using PAC 14 and I was able to produce three, 45 min shows,
benefiting a local service organization. I truly loved my experience
with PAC 14 and it has been a great tool for the two non-profits I
have worked with. Thank you Mike, Creig, and Tom! You have been so
kind over the year I can not thank you enough."
- Sara Sutton, local

is to tell you what a delight PAC 14 has been for me during my
fourteen month tenure in Salisbury as the interim Rector of St.

frequently 'channel surf'...only in Salisbury have
I ever found myself locking in on a public access channel and find
myself doing so again and again when watching TV",

"It's clear
you've done a lot for this community through PAC14, if on a wing and
a prayer and a lot of good will. Perhaps
one of the best things I've seen, from my limited vantage, is that
you've brought local nonprofit and educational entities
a little closer together, no small feat in Wicomico County. For this
and all that you've been able to do for the community, you and PAC14
deserve a big pat on the back, particularly during these tough
times. The community needs PAC14, whether it knows it or not, for
many important reasons too many to numerate here. I wish you every
success."
- Linda Duyer

is to thank PAC-14 for doing such a professional job of covering and

event on PAC-14. On behalf of PACE, thank you for the valuable
service you provide to our community!"
