We encourage the community at-large and all our members to become involved with the election process by becoming a candidate, encouraging a nominee, and by voting. Contact CAPS for more information.

We bid farewell to the many graduates of Ventura. It is always great to share this event with them. Happily, we have several graduates who will be stopping by, having graduated with media production skills acquired here. Enjoy the summer and send your younger siblings on to CAPS for our youth program. There are a few spaces remaining in the final week.

Of course, we learned a lot at the Knowledge Bowl. It’s the annual event where seniors are pitted against high school seniors from Buena in a test a knowledge. It took place at the Aegis center and is available for viewing on Facebook, Vimeo and You Tube. Spoiler alert – the teams tied. Looking for a rematch next year.

More Ventura Rocks is coming your way. This week is another session with Pam Baumgardner and a great local band. Check out the series everywhere. You will get a taste of the rich and varied music scene right here in Ventura.

We continue to cover city meetings live on channel 15 where we give you access to issues and concerns important to Ventura’s citizens. It also features educational programming from Ventura College and the Ventura Unified School District. Channel 15 is also host to ECTV, El Camino High School television where the talented students tackle important issues.

Through our serious commitment to helping the community share their stories, we encourage you to come by and learn how you can tell your story and share it on the station, web and streaming. Soon we will be able to provide you with radio production with yet another venue for free speech.
