APRIL 2015 PBS39 Deepens its Roots in the Community! At PBS39, we are always excited to share our latest and greatest programming with you. Throughout March, we did it by showing special programming and member favorites. This month, we have brand-new seasons of Death in Paradise and Mr. Selfridge coming your way, as well as an Easter Sunday presentation of Ken Burns’ documentary, Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies, to kickoff Cancer Awareness Week (April 5 - 12). In addition to our stellar programming, PBS39 is also an active member of the community. Twice in March, we opened our doors to the public for free events, An Evening with Mary Fahl on March 9th, and a day of taping Behind the Guitar with Craig Thatcher on March 26th. More opportunities to interact with us are coming this spring; we will be at Allentown’s Da Vinci Science Center on Saturday, April 18th for a family-oriented Earth Day celebration, and our ever-popular PBS39 MicroBrew Festival is scheduled for Saturday, May 30th at Coca-Cola Park. Mark your calendars! Of course, you don’t need a special event to interact with us every day! Join us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to share your PBS39-related thoughts, questions and suggestions. Also, check out our new Speak Up! blog, which provides a fresh perspective on the issues that matter to you.
