PITTSTON — The city of Moosic in Lackawanna County will be featured in VIA’s “Our Town” series. “Our Town Moosic” will be a “day-in-the-life” one-hour video scrapbook focusing on the people, places and happenings of Moosic as seen through the eyes of its residents.
Moosic residents are invited to attend the first “Our Town Moosic” community/volunteer meeting Thursday, Jan. 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the Moosic Borough Building, 715 Main St. Residents will discuss which landmarks, events and local stories the program should tell about their town. VIA will answer questions about the project during the meeting and ask volunteers to brainstorm a list of subjects and events to videotape.
VIA will hold a second community/volunteer meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23 at the Moosic Borough Building. During this meeting, volunteers will participate in a whiteboard session to determine the stories to be told in the program and which stories each volunteer will videotape to create “Our Town Moosic.” VIA hopes to recruit 20 to 25 area residents with personal camcorders.
Anyone interested in being a videographer and/or storyteller for the program should contact VIA “Our Town” producer, Lisa Mazzarella, at 570-602-1164 or by e-mailing lisamazzarella@wvia.org.
“Our Town Moosic” will debut Thursday, April 30.
