KPTZ has come a long way this year, building on past years’ accomplishments and developments with our expanded schedule and public affairs involvement. We continue to grow in number of volunteers, all of whom are dedicated and continually exceeding expectations in community service. And during our recent on-air fundraiser week, you and your neighbors donated a record amount of support to help KPTZ grow.
This momentum is why we are able to stretch our ambition to build a permanent studio location in the new Makers Square project underway at Fort Worden. While reaction to our ambitious transition news has been altogether positive, we recognize that to succeed we need to raise $500,000.
We feel certain this goal is achievable because
KPTZ is a vital asset to our community.
This week on the Compass we talk with a Mennonite minister and her husband about the dangers to humanity they believe to be posed by the development of artificial intelligence and the rapidly accelerating technological revolution that presents the very real possibility of replacing people in pretty much every field, from child care to making life and death decisions on the battlefield.

Kathy Morgan, Director of Housing Projects at OlyCap, and long-time housing advocate and volunteer, Barbara Morey talk about the national PIT (Point in Time) Homeless Count on January 25. An accurate count of those needing standard housing ensures federal funding for housing services in our area. Here’s an opportunity to impact the lives of homeless children, elderly, veterans and other community members experiencing homelessness. Training is provided.
