Tues. & Thurs. at 8:30 am & 2:30 pm 3 Members’ Message BEHIND THE SCENES AT SOPTV Mark Stanislawski This month I want to update you on a few things happening behind the scenes at SOPTV . New Database. We are in the final stages of moving to new membership software . SOPTV will be working with our colleagues at WGBH-Boston to bring the new system up during this month . Our current membership software is no longer supported and is over 20 years old . The new software will help us manage sustaining memberships, which have become a very popular means to make a generous gift to SOPTV . Don’t know what a sustaining membership is? Sustaining members can spread their gifts out over an entire year—for example, a $120 annual membership is 12 payments of $10 a month that is automatically deducted from your credit card or bank account . The new software will also enable SOPTV to introduce PBS Passport, a new online service that will provide SOPTV members who give $60 or more per year extended access to our programming on demand . We plan to initiate this service around mid-November, so watch for details . Gold Hill Is Golden! Perhaps you saw the premiere of Our Town: Gold Hill during our September membership drive . Nearly 70 people requested DVDs of the hour-long program, which combined a historical and travelog approach to the community of Gold Hill . Our social media was abuzz with “likes,” comments, and shares as we promoted the program with clips online . We hope to be able to tell the story of your community over the coming years . Production costs vary from $15,000–$20,000 . This fall, we are already making plans for our next Our Town special . Volunteers Help Us Succeed. Behind the scenes at SOPTV, many people volunteer to help make programs like Our Town happen . On our live pledge nights, the hosts, camera crews, audio operators, and floor directors are all volunteers . The phones are answered by community groups who give us their time and energy, and everyone is fed by local restaurants who donate gourmet meals and dessert . After pledge, volunteers make phone calls and address post cards and envelopes . Space prohibits individually thanking all the people who work behind the scenes, but we deeply appreciate everything that they do . If you would like to volunteer, give us a call!
