Ms. Magee HickeyCBS 2 News524 West 57th StreetNew York, NY 10019

Dear Ms. Hickey:

This thank you letter is 'long overdue and for that, we sincerely apologize. The delay inwriting to you, in no way, diminishes the extent of our gratitude for the "gift" of yourtime and knowledge that you so generously gave to our students. When consideredwithin the context of your early morning schedule, that "gift" has even greater value.Thank you for taking the time and making the special effort to talk with our students andto share with them some of the details ofyour own career journey. We are truly gratefulfor the role that you played in making OUf Spring Journalism Symposium the success thatit was.

In talking so directly about your experiences, including the personal and professionalchoices that you have had to make to achieve success in such a highly competitivebusiness, you were able to connect and relate to the students in a very personal way. I'msure that they will long remember some of the reporting anecdotes that you shared withthem, especially the one about your Rhode Island experience posing as a street walker. Itwas a .wonderful afternoon; one that I wish could have been shared with even morestudents because it was so special and unique. Perhaps, we can entice you to come backnext year for an encore.

Again thank you and best wishes for a wonderful summer. Incidentally, David Diazsends his regards and his regrets for not being able to see you when you were on campuslast month.

Sincerely,

~audette ownlee, PhDSEEK Director

bVCBS-TV PUBLIC FI~E

We believe WCBS~1V has an obligation not only to cover issues fairly, but also to be fairlyrepresented. Historically, in mainstream media, Asian Americans have been negatively stereotypedas "foreigners" or the "yellow peril", Asian women as exotic and permissive, and Asian men asasexual. Or issues impacting Asian Americans have not been adequately covered. For generations,the image of a model American has been of a Caucasian-in movies, storybooks, polities. and themedia. We feel your staff should be representative of the viewers at large. According to the 2000Census. in New York City, with 8 million people, more than 10% are Asian American of which 43%are naturalized citizens. As the fastest growing group in New York City with our householdincome and education levels higher than average, we represent a sizeable growing number of yourviewers. Yet, WeBS-TV has no weekday anchor who is an Asian Pacific American. There are noAsian American managers. Of your current staff of 150 plus people, there are only 4 AsianAmericans. These dismal numbers hardly reflect a commitment to diversity and excellence. Ti HuaChang and Cindy Hsu. nevertheless, have been outstanding ambassadors on behalf of WCBS·TV tothe community, volunteering their time to emcee at countless non-profit community fundraisersand charitable events.. They have served as positive role models for the growing number of APAstudents majoring in broadcast media. When Asian Americans see Ti Hua, Cindy and HazelSanchez on TV. they see themselves as being part of mainstream America. For non-Asians. it isimportant to see that Asian Americans are a visible, integral part of society. This helps fightnegative stereotyping and promotes racial harmony.

Matheny is a registered 501 (c)(3) organization, ID number 22~1482276, so yourdonation will, qualify as a charitable contribution. Thank you again for your generous donation. ;

On behalf of the residents and students of Matheny, I want to thank you for your verygenerous and kind donation to our annual Golf Classic's silent auction. Your gift of a studiotour and visit to a taping of CBS 2 News at Noon will be a wonderful addition to our auction,and we are very thankful for your support.

Matheny's 2007 Golf Classic is scheduled for Monday, October 8th, at Trump National i

in Bedminster. Last year's Classic was a wonderful success and netted $58,721. Over $18,000:of that net came from the auction, where all items are donated and every dollar bid goes I

directly to support our program. The proceeds of this year's Classic will be dedicated tosupporting outpatient services through our Center ofMedicine and Dentistry. In very humanterms, that translates into helping more than 900 children and adults with significant disabilities:access the medical, dental and therapy care they need to maintain optimum health and 'independence. Medicaid and private insurance only covers about 40% ofthe true cost of ,providing that care. Funds raised through our Golf Classic help bridge that gap and allow us to I

serve everyone in need, regardless oftheir ability to pay.

Dear Don,

Yesterday we had the pleasure of hosting Jay Dow and Don Collins from CBS to coverour exciting new security camera initiative with the Demarest Police Department. Thankyou for the coverage and for you!" support ofour project.

As an experienced Superintendent about to retire January 1, 2008, 1also wanted to take amoment to let you know how impressed we were with the professionalism andcooperation demonstrated to our staff and students by Jay Dow and Don Collins.

Immediately upon cntering the school setting they demonstratcd their experience ofschool cultures being sensitive not to disrupt the instruction, respecting the privacypolicies of including students in the piece, showing tremendous patience and friendlinessto the students who repeatedly kept asking them: "Are we going to be on TV, 'Yhen willthis be aired?"

I'm sure they hear this in every location from every group yet they took the time toexplain the procedures while making the students fell comfortable about the novelty ofhaving CBS TV in our school.

CBS can take hll.'eat plide knowing they have such competent. professional, and friendlyindividuals like Jay and Don representing the organization in the field. It was a pleasureto work with both of them on this exciting project.

Keep up the good work.
