Amador County – TSPN TV launched a new TV show Wednesday morning entitled “Today’s Seniors Living Well,” which included a presentation of a check for $5,000 from one of the show’s first guests, Amador County Supervisor Brian Oneto of District 5.
Oneto presented a check for $5,000 as a personal donation towards the production costs of Today’s Seniors Living Well program. Oneto presented the check during the live broadcast Wednesday and said it was part of his election pledge to put his first year’s net salary, as a county supervisor, toward the community and support for seniors.
Sue Slivick, TSPN TV co-owner and vice-president, said “Supervisor Oneto’s generous donation goes a long way toward helping make this valuable program possible.” Sue said she is “pleased to see the number of entities stepping up and getting involved with this worthwhile program.” 17 different businesses and organizations have joined in to support the Today’s Seniors Living Well series, at various levels of advertising and participation.
The one-hour show aired live for the first time at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 6, and will run for 13 weeks, each Wednesday morning. Today’s Seniors Living Well is co-produced and hosted by Laurie Webb, executive director of the Amador Senior Center, and Virginia Manner, Lifeline Supervisor of Amador Lifeline, a program of the Amador-Tuolumne Community Action Agency, known as ATCAA.
Manner, also a commissioner of Amador Commission on Aging, and Webb welcomed the first show’s guests including Elizabeth Thompson, executive director of Common Ground Senior Services; and Amador County Sheriff Martin Ryan, who literally walked on to a segment with Webb and Marj Stuart, of the Commission on the Aging.
