Tune in beginning Monday, October 12 when Cheryl spends the first half hour with the executive director of Madison's community TV station, WYOU, Barbara Bolan. Like so many other community stations, WYOU has had a big part of its funding cut and Bolan explains how similar cuts could also eventually impact Oshkosh community TV and what people can do to help. In the second half, Winnebago County Executive Mark Harris joins Cheryl to discuss the upcoming buget and how it impacts county residents.
In the Oshkosh area, "Eye on Oshkosh" can be seen Mondays at 7 p.m., Thursdays at 1 p.m. and Saturdays at 6 p.m. Check with your local cable company or its TV listings for replay times in other, more outlying areas. It also may air at other times during the week. Check the guide on your cable access channel for other days and times.

HELP!
I am sure many of you have noticed a chill settling in the air lately.
Perhaps you have experienced a few of the frosty mornings on the walk
from your car into work - you can see your breath hang in the air, your
body is quick to shiver. A cold and long Wisconsin winter is fast
approaching.
Now imagine having to walk to school or wait at a bustop in this kind
of weather, without the winter coat that most of us take for granted.
This is what many of the children staying at Harbor House are facing, and
this is why I am asking for your help.
We are in desperate need of winter coats of all sizes - from infant to
adult, both boys and girls. We currently have 50 women and children
in shelter (and remember, we are only a 44 bed facility), many of whom
are in need of winter coats. I know The Salvation Army does a wonderful job
on their drive, Coats for Kids (I should know, since I used to work
there), but the coats will not be available until November 9th. The children
I am working with will need something before then.
Please forward this email on to coworkers, family and friends. Coats
can be dropped off at Harbor House anytime - even on weekends.
I greatly appreciate your help!!!
P.S. Please feel free to email or phone with any questions (832-1667)
