Concert on the Common with 3-D Guitars and Music

August 31, 2012,  Pembroke, MA:  It's a Concert on the Common in Pembroke, Massachusetts with students and faculty of 3-D Guitars and Music from Schoosett Street in Pembroke performing on Sunday, August 26th through the dinner hours before a packed crowd of lawn-chair music enthusiasts cheering them on.

Put your hands together for this brave group of performers, some of whom are making their debut appearance.

Special guest Gene Matthews from the original Drifters band sings along with the group. This up-and-coming gathering of young 3-D Guitars players provides back-up to two Drifter's songs which Gene elegantly performs, much as he did years ago when that was his livelihood.

For every parent, grandparent, and relative who takes pride in his young one's accomplishments, this concert is for you.  There are close up shots from every angle.

New Community Public Access Television in Pembroke

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Pembroke, Massachusetts, August 9, 2012 – After much conflict throughout the town of Pembroke over Pembroke Public Access Television, Pembroke Media Broadcasting (PMB) closed in Pembroke.  Because of this two town residents, Dr. Margaret Jones and Mr. John Mattinson, have started a new non-profit company called Pembroke Community Media Center, Inc.  Both are working on this studio being the new center for the community to use for their public access television.

In May and June of this year Pembroke residents had several meetings concerning the PMB closing.  Opponents of the closure said the board of directors – who voted to dissolve PMB in a private meeting May 31 – had no right to make the decision without the public’s consent.  Residents were upset with the Board of Selectman not intervening with the PMB when they voted to close the cable studio and give away all of the equipment.  Although there were many citizens against the regionalization of Pembroke Public Access both the PMB and the Board of Selectmen for Pembroke followed through with the elimination of Pembroke Local Public Access.

So now that Pembroke Media Broadcast (PMB) no longer exists, Mr. Mattinson who is a former employee of the PMB and Dr. Jones who was an avid volunteer at the studio have created this new corporation: Pembroke Community Media Center, Inc.  Mr. Mattinson and Dr Jones have obtained camera equipment, have producers lined up for public access shows and have already started lining up shoots for the future.  They are also planning on offering free class time for the public, and have started setting up the schedule.  More information about this can be found at: www.yourpcmc.com or by calling Dr. Jones at her office at 781-826-8339.

To fund the new non-profit studio, PCMC is hoping to acquire the monies through public and private grants and donations.  Pembroke Community Media Center Inc., is registered with the Attorney General’s Division of non-profit organizations/public charities.  PCMC’s non-profit number is 053923.  Money can be sent to Bridgewater Savings and earmarked for PCMC’s account.

ABOUT:  Pembroke Community Media Center
