Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the non-profit agency proudly serving older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout greater Plymouth County and surrounding communities, was honored for their "Community Options" show by Brockton Community Access (BCA) during a recent Community Media Day celebration.

BCA and General Manager Mark Linde hosted a celebration of the 300th recording of their local interest show “One North Main Street” at the Brockton War Memorial Building on Community Media Day, which is celebrated on October 20th each year. Community Media Day is "an annual celebration of voices that brings awareness to the importance of free speech and accessible media for all individuals to have their voices heard" and more than 100 were in attendance for the celebration in Brockton.

During the event, BCA honored LeNay Harper, OCES' Community Programs Manager and the producer of OCES' "Community Options" show, along with host Pat Foley, OCES' Protective Services Outreach Specialist. The “Community Options” show brings topics of interest ranging from domestic violence, the opioid crisis, and School on Wheels, to the Creating Connections project with the Boys and Girls Club of Brockton, Visiting Angels and the Brockton Council on Aging.

BCA also honored OCES' partner, the Brockton Council on Aging and their volunteer camera operators.

"Through our 'Community Options' show, we strive to be the local 'voice' that delves into important topics impacting our community. We are delighted to receive this recognition from BCA," said Diana DiGiorgi, Executive Director of OCES.
