 Good morning and welcome to Portland Media Center's Airwaves newsletter. I'm Genius Black. June is here and so is summer. Summer in Maine is known for its distinct beauty and vibrant colors and PMC wants to embrace this fun and creative energy in everything we make. From the visually stunning and fun nature of these newsletters to the more thoughtful and defined nature of our public affairs program. Let's begin this morning with some exciting news about Metro's new electric buses. On May 16th, Greater Portland Metro and Bitterford Soco Transit launched four new electric buses and PMC was there. Our camera set up as folks lined up in front of a podium to listen to Governor Mills, Senator Angus King and Mayor Snyder along with several other officials involved in bringing this about. The launch of these buses is the beginning of Metro achieving its goal of a zero emissions transit fleet by 2040. Watch the video of this exciting event by going to Portland Media Center on YouTube. Next, let's talk about PMC's new board member. We are excited to welcome longtime PMC producer Victoria Chaconne to our board of directors. Although new to our board, Victoria has been our longest participating producer here at PMC. Aside from her years of experience as a filmmaker and as a volunteer at PMC, Victoria also brings her expertise as a community organizer from years of involvement with the Greater Portland Latino community. We're so grateful to have someone with her experience join our board. Now let's talk about the Department of Health and Human Services. Portland's Department of Health and Human Services has moved most of its operations to one building at 39 Forest Avenue. Deputy Director of Health and Human Services Tina Pettengill contacted PMC to collaborate on creating a virtual tour of the new location. When done, these videos will be available on the department's website where a floor plan of the building will allow you to click on each department and watch a short video about its functions. We love connecting our communities to resources and can't wait to see the end result. Next, let's talk about Harold Pacious and his new award. Our longtime donor and host of one of our most watched TV programs, Harold Pacious was recently lauded by the main historical society. Harold, along with his pretty Flaherty co-founder Steven Belevo was presented with the society's main history makers award. Portland Media Center has long admired the wealth of historical knowledge about Maine and our country that Harold has stored in his amazing memory. His curiosity about people, events and issues never wanes and we have been privileged to watch him master the interview genre on his much watched PMC show Pacious on the News. It's exciting to see all the ways PMC is connecting with our community and as the days grow longer, PMC wants to fill them with shows, events and exciting opportunities. On behalf of everyone at Portland Media Center and our non-profit members, I'd like to wish you all a fun Field June. We'll see y'all next month with more important announcements. Until then, stay safe, stay cool, and keep creating. Getting ready for like a sporting event, I'm coming down. Good morning and welcome to Portland Media Center's Airways Newsletter. Hold on sorry. Speak to my mouth, I hope.
