PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - MAY 2017
Dear members,
Our desert abounds with activities and April certainly is full of things to do! From Coachella Fest, to Stagecoach and the numerous charity events happening - I hope you got some time to rest!
There are a few film shoots happening in town, as well, and thanks to PSWIFT several members are working on and in it, including yours truly!! The Producers were thrilled to find there was a chapter here - and with so many available crew, cast and production help - they are talking about doing more projects here. This is just the kind of message we want to send!
We have a healthy relationship building with SAG-AFTRA and much gratitude goes out to Ilyanne Morden Kichaven and Jane Austin for arranging this get together. Many thanks to all the SAG members and PSWIFT members who showed up for this meet n' greet! Special thanks to Lulu California Bistro as well!!
Our favorite part of the year is when we get to give out our Scholarships and this was no exception!! This year we were able to award DIGICOM with $2,000; The DATA program at Cat City High with $1,500 and $1000 to the Palm Springs Cultural Center, which you will be hearing more and more from in the near future!!
We are working on exciting programs, rebuilding our website and reaching out further into the film and television community to build our organization- and we sincerely thank you for rolling up your sleeves and joining in!!!
See you in June!
Sincerely,
Leanna Bonamici
