WAKEFIELD — Earlier today, WCAT met with The Scholarship Foundation of Wakefield to provide assistance in their preparation for integrating Zoom into their board meetings.
Tour with Girl Scouts
Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 p.m., the studio will host a tour with a troop of up to 16 Brownie Girl Scouts. After the tour they’ll gather in the conference room for snacks and to watch videos of other Girl Scout troop productions. At 7:30 p.m., the School Committee will meet in a hybrid setting with members in the studio.
Podcasts, Public Safety
On Wednesday at 9 a.m., Board Member and volunteer Tom Stapleton will be filming at the Public Safety Building regarding the upcoming construction/renovation plans. At 6 p.m., WCAT will host Rosey Mongeau and Avery who will record another episode of their podcast “Really Important Fictional Things.”
Master Plan Online Meeting
Wednesday at 6:30 p.m., WCAT will facilitate the Master Plan review with Erin Kokinda. This first public workshop will take place virtually. In this interactive session, participants will discuss two of the eight Master Plan topics: Land Use and Zoning (growth, enhancement, and preservation areas) and Open Space and Recreation (parks, squares, and leisure). This event will be followed by a three-week community survey for expanded input. Learn more about the master plan and objectives and register at www.wakefield.ma.us/master-plan.
During the month of April, WCAT will be working with another non-profit to film a series of nine educational videos. These will be filmed on different days at various times – as early as 8 a.m. and as late at 1 p.m.
