Indicate “Russell trees” in the memo line. Or go to the website to donate or to volunteer to help with replanting: www.treedavis.org/.

Producers’ Collaborative: Lin Weaver posts: I would like to create or join a workgroup or collaborative of other Producers/Radio/TV journalists in the Sacramento area to share expertise, ideas and projects, or maybe just networking. I'm currently working on a (promising) radio documentary, and I'm also a Host/Producer for the show "In the Studio" at Davis Media Access in Davis CA. I have worked for the last four plus years at Capital Public Radio in Sacramento as an assistant producer, audio operator, researcher podcaster and web contents manager for the live daily news show "Insight” If anyone is interested, you can contact me at softvoices10@gmail.com.
