Cable Advisory Board Donates $2,500 to Oddfellows

Grant to Oddfellows- In order to help the Oddfellow's Playhouse a little bit further after the devestating building collapse nearly a year ago, the Northern Middlesex Cable Advisory Board (NMCAB) voted to give the creative arts organization a $2,500 donation to be used for the filming of a public service announcement. The award should be finalized by the board's November meeting.

Comcast to Leave Tuttle Road: This seems to be the case. With the lease up, the board quickly learned that the heads of Comcast are planning on moving their location prior to the new year. Although details were scarce from Comcast officials, it was learned that the bill center and public access studio will be broken up into two sections with the billing department most likely to end up out of Middletown, while the destination of the studio still remains unknown.

Justin Hinds Scholarship- The committee also voted on creating a scholarship in the name of Justin Hinds, a young Comcast volunteer who tragically passed away last Christmas. The idea is to give approximately $1,000 to a student in the Middletown area who plans to further their career in the broadcasting /communications field. A sub-committee plans to meet this month to create a template and formulate language in order to get this scholarship off the ground.

Note: The NMCAB meets bi-monthly and has a section on their agenda open for public comments. Any questions or concerns can be left in the feedback section of this post or sent to super11771@aol.com C/O Chairperson Jon Pulino
