It's BATV Holiday Greetings time again! Of course with this being a different kind of year,
BATV is offering a virtual Zoom Holiday Greetings Night on December 10th from 6-8 pm. Drop-in anytime during those hours and BATV staff will be on hand to record your holiday greetings. Dress up in your favorite holiday attire, sing a song, read a poem, or just say "hi" to the community. You can even just stop in to the Zoom meeting to say hi to staff and other members and/or simply watch. We will be editing and putting all of the Greetings together and airing them during the holidays.

If you opt to film a greeting on your phone, we recommend filming horizontally, in a well lit, quiet environment.
