MVTV-3 Interns, 2010 Volunteers of the Year 
The City Manager's Office is proud to announce that our MVTV-3 interns have been recognized as the City's Volunteers of the Year.
Our talented and creative (and unpaid) interns include:
Steven Morel, a graduate of Moreno Valley College and Cal State San Bernardino, is the creator and producer of the "Pet of the Week" videos, is a News Center reporter and producer, and assists with coverage of our live meetings. Earlier this month Steven was awarded a third place honor from the Southern California, Arizona and Nevada municipal television association for the Pet of the Week videos. Steven has volunteered over 1300 hours to MVTV-3.
Jarrett Wegelin, a graduate of Moreno Valley College and currently a student at Cal State Northridge, is a reporter and producer for News Center and is responsible for the production of a number of Public Service Announcements including ones for the Spark of Love and Police Department volunteers programs to name just a couple. Jarrett has logged in over 700 volunteer hours for MVTV-3.
Trent Terrell, currently attending Moreno Valley College, logged in over 860 volunteer hours for MVTV-3. In addition to producing numerous items for Channel 3 including the skate park, Cottonwood golf course, and Norma Lopez PSAs, Trent has shared his considerable expertise with the other interns by implementing a camera training program.
Jarred Endres, a student of Cal State Long Beach and graduate of Moreno Valley College, has volunteered over 1400 hours and was an important part of many of MVTV-3's most notable productions including the Mission MoVal reality show and numerous Business Spotlight productions. Jarred received special recognition from the Council for his role in developing and producing the special video introduction to last year's State of the City address.
Kyle Dagenhart, a graduate of Crafton Hills College and currently a student at Cal State Northridge, has volunteered almost 800 hours to MVTV-3. Kyle produces many of our News Center items and has been particularly helpful to us in creating and monitoring the City's YouTube page and other social media outlets.
Tim Barnes, a student at Santa Barbara Community College, is our newest intern and still has volunteered over 350 hours of time to MVTV-3. In addition to contributing to News Center productions, Tim recently created a PSA for the Military Appreciation banner program and also helps us out with our live meeting coverages and updating the Ch. 3 bulletin board slides.
We thank these talented and creative young men for their time and effort in making MVTV-3 a better channel and we appreciate their tremendous energy and volunteerism on behalf of the City of Moreno Valley. The MVTV-3 staff has put together a very brief video representation of our interns which we would like to show you.
