Become more than a member, help us continue our work in a more substantial way and donate to BaysideLiveTV's Community Production of "The Bayside Story" documentary.
The story of Bayside is waiting to be told. Before Columbus discovered "The New World" there was the ancient and indigenous world of the native Indians, then there were the first settlers and the farm lands , and then came the American Revolution, and the creation of Fort Totten and Bayside during the the Civil War. There are the great founding families of our area, the Lawrences and the Bells, the Cord and the Meyer families, then came the turn of the century and the great Gatsby Era in Bayside when the Bayside Yacht became the western edge of the Great Gold Coast of wealth along Long Island's north shore, and the conversion of Bayside from farm land to the towering high rises of Bay Terrace and creation of the shopping center . then came the era of the Silent Movies when Bayside became the home of the first great movie stars like Rudolf Valentino and Theda Bara , followed by the first stars of "The Talkies" with Gloria Swanson, Marie Dessler, Norma Talmadge, Grocho Marks and more.
Then there was Bayside during the great world wars when local Corporal Stone and Corporal Kennedy made their mark in valor on the battlefield, and the Baby Booming Bayside of the 1950's and 1960' s and the rise of the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts and there is the Bayside of today and the ongoing changes along the boulevard and the stories of the families like the Gargan family that have been here for multiple generations, and those who've moved here for the first time. We want to tell their stories as well. We have local video producers and editors out of work because of the pandemic that could be employed to help us produce this ongoing documentary for us , along with an education program that can teach students how to become producers and directors and editors themselves and then employ them. The cost of continuing our student education program along with a living and ongoing documentary like the Bayside Story could and should be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. We believe, by educating and employing locally we can give a number of local people sustainable full time, along with part time jobs while also producing a documentary about our town and the people in it worthy of a Ken Burns production and that it can be done for less than $20,000. that is why we are asking for your support in documenting and enhancing the Bayside Lifestyle.

“The Bayside Story”
Covering and delivering the stories, LIVE Streaming and chronicling our public events for us, producing the documentaries about our organizations and the spotlights about the individuals that make a difference and the artists and musicians that inspire and entertain us, and then archiving it all in the ongoing library of “The Life and Times” of our home town on BaysideLiveTV.com isn’t easy and it isn’t cheap.
Like any business, cable channel, feature film or TV documentary, there are costs that need to be covered,
and we cant do it alone. We need your help. Please donate whatever you can.The money we raise here goes back into our community, to teach local students and train local producers, to pay local editors and update equipment to produce high quality documentaries about Bayside, Whitestone and Northeast Queens and keep the continuous story sharing about the people in our town going. Please help us continue to give this gift to our community that deserves it and help us with a donation in the suggested amounts below, and receive the value that’s detailed in the list of donation benefits. Together, we can do a lot for the lives and livelihoods of our community, and wind up with a great, Community Enhancing, pride producing asset that will serve us through generation after generation at the same time, but we need your help. Thank you.
$300.00 donated of $12,000.00 goal
We can have that Bayside Center for the Arts with wonderful, lifestyle enriching, Arts, Culture and Entertainment (A.C.E) events taking place all the time. We can have that production center, producing live and pre-recorded content coming right out of Bayside, and not just for webcasting to Bayside over BaysideLiveTV, but over cable channels like the Comedy Channel, owned by Discovery. We can expand our education programs not just for our local students but for local residents that want to learn how to produce their own content, becoming internet legends on their own. We can create some very cool jobs for Bayside based programmers and producers. It's going to need your help. It's going to take a village to make the magic happen.
We need new computers for the students, we need dedicated high speed internet service and equipment for the production studio on Bell Blvd so that anybody who'd like to produce their own shows or YouTube videos can come down and be a star.
Please play a part in making this happen and donate to this community utility that's been created for all of us. Though any donation of any denomination is accepted and greatly appreciated , here are some suggested amounts that will give bonuses of gratitude.
