WHCA9TV has our Panthers covered!
Autumn is synonymous with cooler temperatures, colorful leaves, pumpkin flavored products and local high school sports. WHCA typically assembles a production crew to travel to the Dennis M. O'Brien Field to tape Whitman-Hanson sporting events like soccer and football.
One of their recent shoots featured volunteers Don Ford and Bob Hayes, who provided commentary during a recent Panthers football game. Meanwhile Paul Watson and James Cullity worked one of two cameras capturing all the action and Carol Brewster served as the production's audio engineer. Great job crew!
Open Invitation:
Have you ever passed by the WHCA facility at 115 South Avenue and wondered what they do? They invite you, your friends and family to visit Whitman-Hanson Community Access while our staff is hard at work creating new content or working with local producers on their programs.
If you would like a tour of our facility or the production studio or would like to get involved with WHCA, please visit
www.whca.tv for more information!!!

Connection. It is a necessity:
Unplug.
Be part of a conversation.
Smile.
Listen.
You will feel so-o-o much better.
“We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.” ~ William James
“Invisible threads are the strongest ties.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.” ~ Brené Brown

Share yourself with someone else, you will be glad you did. Have a great week! ~ Jacquie
