Westminster, CA – The National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (NATOA) recently honored the Public Cable Television Authority with an honorable mention award for PCTA’s local television series spotlighting senior citizens, “Young at Heart.” The program is produced by Westminster resident C. Sue Braun.

NATOA’s Government Programming Awards (GPA) honor excellence in broadcast, cable, multimedia and electronic programming produced by local government agencies nationwide.  This year NATOA received more than 900 entries, up 7% from the previous year, submitted by local governments across the country.  PCTA’s honorable mention award for “Young at Heart” is in the Programming for Seniors category.

“Young at Heart” has covered activities at the Westminster Senior Center such as Friday afternoon dances, the Longevity Stick class, and a tea party featuring the ladies from the Red Hat Society. In addition, “Young at Heart” has profiled the Westminster Yarn Spinners – women who crochet and knit clothes, blankets, hats, and several other items which are given to charities. “Young at Heart’s” cameras have also been at the Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Celebration, and the program has also profiled Westminster Councilmember Margie Rice and covered the dedication of Margie L. Rice Park.
