A Valued Partner

Yes­ter­day, we were for­tu­nate enough to meet with staff from WXXI who not only impressed us with their oper­a­tions, but with their enthu­si­asm for the Gar­de­nAer­ial Project and the Green­topia Fes­ti­val. It was a splen­did meet­ing with enthu­si­as­tic sup­port­ers who saw the con­nec­tion between their mis­sion and our own. If you haven’t had the chance to go visit the “digs” at WXXI, we would strongly sug­gest you do so. It is mod­ern, airy, and more impor­tantly, our own as a pub­lic sup­ported station.

We dis­cussed so many pos­si­bil­i­ties and drew lines between what WXXI was doing and what we are hop­ing to accom­plish with the Gar­de­nAer­ial and the Green­topia Fes­ti­val. What is so encour­ag­ing is the power of col­lab­o­ra­tion. So many things can be done through col­lab­o­ra­tion and inno­v­a­tive think­ing, and frankly if yesterday’s meet­ing was any indi­ca­tion of what might be pos­si­ble, we are extremely encour­aged. We all agreed that one of the most impor­tant areas of focus for our com­mu­nity is in mov­ing Rochester towards a more greener pas­ture. WXXI, undoubt­edly, will be a won­der­ful addi­tion to what is already a tremen­dous list of sup­port­ers, which will help us pave the way towards a more “greener” High Falls and Greater Rochester. We want to thank our new friends at WXXI for their inter­est, sup­port­ive words and the future possibilities.
