MONDAY MEMO
TO: ALL STAFF
FROM: KATHLEEN
DATE: 23 NOVEMBER 2015

WELCOME ABOARD!
Donell Jenkins joined our Team today as a weekend director/ studio technician/ editor.  Donell comes to us from Raycom Media (WBTV3) in Charlotte, NC, where he worked as  a Content Specialist.  In this capacity, he supervised, trained and provided active direction to the production crew.  He also worked as a Production Technician at WJLA in Washington and KTNV in Las Vegas as well as a Production Assistant at WBFF in Baltimore.  He is a graduate of the Broadcasting Institute of Maryland in Baltimore.  Please join me in welcoming him to our Team.   

NORTH SALISBURY CAME TO VISIT!

Daniel and Lenita got to hang out with some very bright and well-mannered kids this past Wednesday afternoon.  Our Morning Team mentored their class, talking about how writing and spelling are very important skills to have when doing the news.  The kids were very curious and had great questions about the green screen and virtual set.  A high point of curiosity was when  they discussed how wearing green would make them “disappear” on the set  There was even a budding journalist or two in the group.

UPDATE ON LOBBY RENOVATIONS:

  • Renovations have been put on hold until the Lanes have an opportunity to meet with Michael Denofrio on 4 December.  Following that meeting, I anticipate being able to move forward.
  • The boxes that have been delivered and stacked in the Lobby are floor protectors for the Main Office Area

MAIN OFFICE RENOVATIONS

  • Installation of the new flooring in the Main Office Area is set to begin the week of 7 December and is anticipated to take about a week.  It will be done in sections to minimize the upheaval and inconvenience as much as possible.  When we have a set plan, I will get it out in writing.

SIGN UP SHEETS for the Holiday Party (4-6PM at Sobo’s on Saturday, 5 December) are posted.  Please sign up at your earliest convenience and advise if you will be bringing a guest so we can provide the restaurant with a headcount.  We have to provide Sobo’s with a head count by the 25th so please do not procrastinate.
