Bridging the Generations
with the Groton Channel
Cast Members Needed for Local Groton Channel Show
For those of you who are familiar with "Bridging the Generations, My Civic Life" this will be a smaller, more intimate event. Both generations will get to learn about each other by discussing experiences that are significantly different and some that are timeless.
The generation gap has never been bigger. Technology has changed a lot of our experiences, but we are still members of a community that can benefit from learning about one another. We are looking for volunteers to share their generational viewpoint on a variety of topics,
This event will be recorded and then broadcast on the Groton Channel.
Event Information
The show will take place in the multipurpose room (The Pit) on the ground floor in the north building.
RSVPs are enabled for this event.
