"As regards PAC-14; the channel showcases an essential diversity of interests to the community. The programs not only educate but enable our citizens 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 University

"I recently had the pleasure of recording a program with Phil Tilghman pertaining to the Memorial Day service at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center. As Chairman of the War Memorial Committee, I thought it would be appropriate to
remind people of our ceremony on May 31st and the importance of that day in our history. I had several people
approach me afterwards about how much they enjoyed the program and what they learned from the information we provided. Several said that the program provided the incentive to attend the service when they might not have otherwise.
I even had the receptionist in my doctor's office comment about how much she enjoyed the program. Our attendance this year at the service was the best ever and I want to thank PAC-14 for their continued support in providing pertinent and interesting programs to our community. PAC-14 is a great asset in our community and like many others, I appreciate the work they are doing.
- Tony Sarbanes, former President of the Wicomico County Council

"As a former resident of Salisbury, I enjoyed PAC 14., but it wasn't until I moved away that I became aware of how much I watched PAC 14 and how much I miss it." Don't let this resource slip away!"
- Melanie Smith, Past President Salisbury Jaycees

"Students, families, and community members alike can watch PAC 14 for up to date information about the celebrations in our school system -- Blue Ribbon schools, rising scores, expanded Honors course enrollment.

Thanks for your consideration."
- John E. Fredericksen, Ph.D., WCBOE Superintendent of Schools

- Sandy Fulton, Tourism Manager, Wicomico County Convention & Visitors Bureau

interest in the CAP"

- George R. Murray, Jr., Major, CAP, USAF-AUX

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."

I watched the whole interview with wide eyed interest, and you know that I have been thoroughly acquainted with his life story. Still your show was very, very interesting. One 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.

PAC 14 is a 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.

, again and I will see you soon! Best Regards,
- Larry Wersen, local citizen producer

"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

"This email is to thank PAC-14 for doing such a professional job of covering and taping the 1st District Congressional Race Debate on Sept. 30th and the talk by CBS News Commentator Dotty Lynch on the Presidential election.

Members of the Community who could not attend these events have commented how glad they were to know that they could watch each event on PAC-14. On behalf of PACE, thank you for the valuable service you provide to our community!"

We love PAC-14 and encourage any and all to fully support its valuable efforts".
