RevereTV Spotlight

  The City of Revere celebrated Juneteenth this past weekend with a Flag Raising Ceremony at City Hall and activities at Veterans Memorial Park. The event included speeches from community members and elected officials, live music, food and lawn games. RTV’s coverage of the event streamed live and is now replaying on RTV GOV

  Also on RevereTV, Assistant Superintendent of Equity and Inclusion Dr. Lourenço Garcia held a recorded roundtable discussion in the RevereTV Studio on the historical significance of Juneteenth. Revere’s Chief Officer of Talent and Culture, Dr. Maritsa Barros, participated as did some school principals, teachers and Revere Public Schools students. The educators and students shared their perspectives and experiences regarding race and discrimination and also shared information about the significance of Juneteenth. The roundtable discussion is playing on the RevereTV Community Channel.

  The first Revere Recreation “From Scratch” Cooking Class was a hit! Jennifer Keefe, owner of From Scratch special order bakery, led a handful of residents who signed up for the class through baking a summer dessert. There will be classes on Wednesdays with limited seats in the upcoming weeks. Head to revererec.org to sign up for future classes. These cooking classes take place in the RevereTV Kitchen studio. You may later see recordings of these classes on the RevereTV Community Channel.

  Revere seniors and other informed community members can watch the new episodes of “The Senior FYI” and “Focus on Health.” The Rossetti-Cowan Senior Center has a new episode of “The Senior FYI” in which Debbie Peczka and Ed Deveau discuss special summer events of interest to senior citizens. Check out this program airing every weekday morning and afternoon on the RevereTV Community Channel.

  “Focus on Health” is a program featuring Revere’s Director of Public Health, Lauren Buck. There is a new episode of this program now playing on the RevereTV Community Channel.

  RevereTV’s municipal meeting coverage will be slowing down a bit now that the Ways & Means Budget Hearings ended last week. All of this year’s budget hearings and other government meetings aired live as they happened and replay in the weeks following. Meetings also stream live on YouTube and can still be viewed there at any time. RTV GOV is channel 9 on Comcast and channels 13 and 613 on RCN.
