Highlights from last week's meeting:
 
Amanda Steinheiser, our program host, explained that since her mother-in-law's bladder cancer diagnosis, her family has been doing its best to research the topic.  The family members are thankful for the new friendships they are making with the medical community.    
 
She introduced Tom Nolan, the COO of TCT Television Network and the president-elect for the Cuyahoga Falls Rotary Club.  Tom began by sharing with our club that Amanda was the best employee he ever hired.  Her work ethic, quick thinking and willingness to solve problems were much appreciated by Tom and her former co-workers.  Yes, Amanda blushed!!
 
TCT Network, Inc., a worldwide Christian ministry broadcasting the Gospel since 1977, was founded in 1977 by Tom's grandparents, Drs. Garth and Tina Coonce, who recognized the need for Christian TV.  Since then it has expanded to 23 states throughout the country. The station's programs are viewed by 2 million households (children and adults) nationally and are ranked among the top in Christian TV.  Funding comes from non-profit donations and some commercial advertising.
 
While considered an essential business, the COVID crisis forced them to curtail some of their operations.  Some of their programming  continued during the COVID shutdown.  The three main programs still produced daily are: "TCT Today" which is a news show with guests;  "Prayer on Purpose" which supports a 24-hour prayer line; and "Ask the Pastors" which hosts a diverse group of clergy who discuss questions about the Bible and other topics.  TCT's primary mission from its inception has always been to share the love of Jesus with a lost and dying world.
 

TCT offers programming relevant for today’s society, addressing topics and issues that affect everyday lives. Engaging the whole family with an array of fresh and relevant program choices, TCT provides viewers with the very best in faith and family television!  What began as one Christian station in the Cincinnati area has exploded into a world-wide network of broadcast stations helping to bring the Gospel message to the world twenty-four hours a day – seven days a week – 365 days a year!

Using cutting edge technology to provide the best in faith and family television relevant to today’s generation, TCT has become a powerful voice for the Gospel.

The operation, located on Brittain Road, across from the former Chapel Hill Mall, is hiring.  Also, tours of the facility are available.  Please visit the organization's website at https://www.tct.tv.

Our thanks to Amanda for introducing us to her friend Tom.  Tom --- many thanks for sharing your morning with our group.  Best wishes to you and your Rotary Club in Cuyahoga Falls during your year as president.  

Hosts --- Please invite your speakers to learn more about Rotary!  Carrie, thank YOU for keeping everyone 'in the loop'.
