Glendora Vegetarian Club
How old is Glendora Vegetarian Club? 8 years old. We have spent $33,000, gathered for 1000 hours and produced 800 pages of records. Does that include the vegan commercials to help the animals broadcast during the 6:30 p.m. news on CBS Channel 6? No, that cost another $56,000. What number program are you on with A Chat with Glendora on cable TV? 12,205! The Glendora Public Access Television Network has 75 TV stations from Boston to San Diego. Ours is the longest running of the access TV shows (and still going) in the world. How long has it been running? 49 years, almost half a century. Why is it the most important public access TV show? The answer is because of its message: When all is said and done, the only thing that really matters is how you treated others.
