Community Love to JCIRA! – November 12
Due to the November 5 power outage at Finnriver, the Dia de Los Muertos event is rescheduled to Saturday, November 12.
This Mexican holiday honors ancestors and deceased loved ones with traditional offerings of food, beverages, flowers and candles. KPTZ is pleased to media partner in support of this upcoming event. What makes it even more heartwarming is that net proceeds go to Jefferson County Immigrant Rights Advocates – JCIRA, helping immigrants get access to legal help here in our area.
On Saturday, November 12 there will be an altar-building workshop, decorated gravesites, kid crafts, tamales, hot cocoa and face-painting, rain or shine! Mexican artist Luz Rosario will lead the altar-building workshop where participants can create a portable “ofrenda” (altar) to honor loved ones who have passed. This workshop will teach how to make paper flowers, painted mini-skulls, and tiny “papel picado” (paper prayer flags), as well as learn the significance of objects on the altar. It is both a fun and moving way of connecting to those who have crossed over, as well as to the holiday itself. Good for families too!

The Drive to KPTZ’s New Home Continues
Everyone who has contributed to the Welcome Home fundraiser is greatly appreciated for all you’ve done to get KPTZ to where we are today!
As of Tuesday, November 2 we’re at 86% of the goal and need $8,400 to make it. This funding is essential to cover our basic operational expenses, especially during the weeks ahead while necessary incidental expenses for the move are also in front of us.
Even though KPTZ’s local programming lineup and operations infrastructure are done essentially by volunteers, it takes money to provide something so excellent for free ~ and you make it happen when you support the station.
If you still haven’t donated, or are able to add an additional contribution at this time, thank you for considering a donation ~ either at the Donate Now button (top of page), or drop off during most normal office hours at the Mountain View Commons station, or by mail to PO Box 2091, Port Townsend, WA 98368.
We can do this … only with your help!
