A Time of Thanks at NCTV17
As the Thanksgiving holiday is upon us, I think it is a good time to reflect on what we are really thankful for. At Naperville Community Television, Channel 17 there are many things for which I am thankful:
I am thankful for a great staff. The younger staffers bring energy and enthusiasm to the station and remind me to be more carefree. I am immensely thankful for Nancy Wiersum and the entire Wiersum family. Nancy is our Community Development Director whose grace and professionalism has helped NCTV17 grow in leaps and bounds in the short 16 months she has been part of the team. The support of her and her family (special thanks to Ben) have made such a huge difference. Carl Schultz is another key component in NCTV17 success. His creativity, constant support and willingness to work so hard for NCTV17 is something I am truly thankful for. Then there is Bill. Bill provides a steady presence at the station. His immense skill helps us with everything from set building, to ribbon cuttings to a friendly smile as you come in the door.
I am thankful for the support of our Board of Directors. The trust they place in me is something that I do not take lightly.
I am thankful for our many community partnerships that have helped us grow in so many ways--more ways than they probably know.
I am thankful to our community producers who create shows that reflect the community and their interests. And for their tireless effort as crew members for the many programs produced at NCTV17.
I am thankful for interns and volunteers who return from college and stop by to visit to keep in touch.
I am thankful for Keith Druek and his tireless effort to raise money for NCTV17 through his show “Our Town.”
I am thankful for the city council that asks tough questions and challenge me.
I am thankful for all the great stories in Naperville and the people willing to let me tell their stories through our documentaries.
I am thankful the residents who watch Naperville Community Television, Channel 17 and for those call in and tell us they enjoyed one of our programs.
I am thankful for the opportunity to be the Executive Director of this great organization, so that I can say to you all, from the Board of Directors, the staff and myself, Happy Thanksgiving!
