The dust is settling after the selection process for our first resident. Behind the scenes, the folks at Storyknife are starting to build the foundation of documents, timelines, and budgets that will allow us to launch a fully-formed fundraising campaign to secure the money to build the entire residency.
In order to do this, we’ve asked some dynamic women to be part of the Storyknife Advisory Council. These advisers will help us by answering questions that arise as we move forward. They are a diverse and incredible group, and we are so proud that they’ve agreed to help us. Over the next few months, we’ll be featuring “Get to Know the Advisory Council” spots on the blog.
The second one will launch tomorrow. The first one featured Kathleen Alcalá, and tomorrow’s will feature Ernestine Hayes.
Meanwhile, it has become summer here on Kachemak Bay. Wild roses and lupine are blooming, gardens are starting to look promising, and we’ve all got sun in our eyes and dirt under our fingernails.
