 Good morning and welcome to PMC's Airwaves newsletter. I'm Tom Handel. PMC is so excited for this May as it promises to be not only full of creativity but also progress and new ideas that will reshape and strengthen PMC for the next half decade. That May is also a chance for the community to come together and support one another. To tell you what I mean, here's Paul Lewis. PMC is excited to announce its 2022 telethon. With the help of PMC creators Luigi Scarcelli and Cedric Mufarinzima, PMC will be hosting a night of music, fun and comedy, stream live and on demand Friday, June 3rd and Saturday, June 4th. See all of your favorite PMC personalities and exclusive behind-the-scenes content of your favorite PMC shows. This event is the perfect opportunity to donate to PMC's mission and community goals, ensuring media opportunities and availability for all of our community. For general information about the event, go to portlandmedia.org slash telethon. Next, let's talk about all the new shows at PMC. One of PMC's newest and most exciting shows is Connection TV, a weekly program discussing and sharing information and resources for Wanda immigrants coming to Portland. These topics range from discussions about education, employment, health, housing and even entertainment. Producers Larry McGonwa and Jean Claude aim to provide all the comforts immigrants need to thrive in the United States, while also providing a larger dose of cultural inclusion. Watch new episodes of Connection TV each week on YouTube or by going to portlandmedia.org slash watch. Now let's talk about the all-new edition of Pacious on the News. In this month's edition of Pacious on the News, Pacious sits down with CEO and president of Dexter Enterprises, Gregory Powell. Gregory Powell is a respected member of our community with degrees from Wesleyan University and University of Maine School of Law. He's an acting chairman of the Board of Trustees for Harold Alfond Foundation. Tune in to hear Harold's discussion with a leader in philanthropy in Maine.

This exhibit showcases seven different methods of creating watercolor works, from the realest to the abstract, to the small to the large, and from the conceptual to the concrete. This exhibit will show off many talented artists, creativity, and unique approaches. Check out experiments in watercolor, diversity and luminosity on its opening night, May 5th from 5 to 8 p.m. during the Portland First Friday Art Walk. For more information and visiting hours, visit theumba.org. This May, PMC's board of directors are gathering for their strategic planning meeting, a meeting that will set the direction and long term goals of PMC for the next five years. This meeting is an exciting chance for PMC to aim in a new and exciting direction, focusing on what is important in today's media creation world. This is also an opportunity for you, our members and community to provide input and ideas on what you would like to see offered at PMC. Send any ideas, observations, comments, or suggestions about PMC's content and services to tomhatportlandmedia.org. What an exciting time to be at PMC. I am so grateful for the multitude of individuals who have embraced our mission and created meaningful and powerful content. On behalf of everyone at PMC and our non-profit members, I would like to wish you a warm summer and a happy May. We'll see you next month with more important announcements. Until then, stay safe, stay strong, and keep creating.
