The WQED Community Advisory Board (CAB) wants your input!

Are you a parent or caregiver of a child whose age is between 2 and 8 years old?
Do you watch public television with your children?
What do you want from public television that would make it a more family-focused destination for you and the little ones in your life?

We want to hear from you!

We'll be hosting 2 one-hour Community Input Sessions on Monday, September 8, 2008 -- one at 9am and one at 7pm -- at WQED in Oakland. Light refreshments will be served.

Child care and light refreshments for your child will be provided and Mister Rogers' own Mister McFeely will pay a visit!
