On alternate weeks with Our Working Waterfront, KPTZ’s Chris Bricker joins co-host Siobhan Canty, President & CEO of Jefferson Community Foundation, to explore new paradigms, new developments, and the panorama of good work our vibrant community continues to do day in and day out. Siobhan and Chris decided to feature Jefferson County’s Second Annual Connectivity Fair held in April at the Chimacum Schools campus. After a gracious welcome by Chimacum Tribal Council Chair, Rosalie Walz, the Fair’s prime movers, Judy Alexander and Rose Madrone, best described the event this way: “Part of what makes Jefferson County unique and special are the nonprofit organizations and service groups that anchor this special community and make it strong and connected. The Fair was created to showcase a large sampling of them, and each of these organizations offer ways for the general public to pitch in to help make our County informed, sustainable, resilient, and life-giving.” Siobhan gave an excellent presentation on Community Philanthropy, and I later popped in on the presentation given by Port Townsend High School’s Students For Sustainability.
For this episode, we join Laura Tucker, advisor and mentor for the club, to give us a brief history of SFS. Then students Tallulah Sebastian and Sawyer Duval give their wonderful presentation. Meanwhile,fellow club members Tadu Dollarhide and Ella Schwartz ran the information table in the big hall.
