Thanks to ALL who pitched in to take KPTZ into the stratosphere, in coming weeks and months! To the universe, and beyond!

Now that we have reached our 2019 Fall Fund Drive goal, this Growing-Station-that-Can is on track to begin the upcoming new decade by providing more of what meshes with our fine, outstanding community!

We’d love to hear from you with any input, as we continue to develop plans to move into our expanded home being built right now, into the renovated Fort Worden Building 305 ~  behind Taps, in the new Makers Square creative district. Email your feedback and suggestions to contactus@kptz.org.

Bundle up against the damp cold and enjoy an afternoon with Phil Andrus and another great Tossed Salad featuring:
1:00 - The Alternators, Peter Evasick and George Radebaugh, fiddle and accordion
2:00 - Cheri Scalf, WDFW salmon RN and 2019 winner of the Eleanor Stopps Award
2:30 - Trever Meade, hill country banjo
3:00 - Jeanie Murphy, “Banjo Tunes, Tunings, and Lore”
4:00 - Rebecca Rottsolk, Rainshadow Chorale, with composer Jake Runestad
4:30 - Don White, reading “A Tangle By the River”, by  Anthony Doerr

The Port Ludlow Village Players just brought in a guest director for their spring play, and this week on the Compass, he tells us why he chose to stage a new political comedy called The Outsider ... which looks suspiciously like the real-life comedy that’s happening right now in Washington D.C.

Thanks so much to ALL who've stepped up to get us within arm's reach! This Fall Fund Drive is the most successful in KPTZ history, with $37,600 donated to-date. We set the $40K goal to cover our lean, uncushioned budget expenses, and we're almost there! If you missed last week's RPM (Real Pledge Moment), we'd love for YOU to take us to the Finish Line. Stay tuned!
