2015 Porch Host Spotlight #8

 
– KIM – PFEST2015PPP2BSM2



Talk to us a bit about community, about yourselves, and about PorchFest, please…

 

1- Is this your first time hosting a porch? Did you get to go to PorchFest last year?

This is my first year hosting and when Marshall, a huge advocate for events that occur in West Central/Kendall Yards, asked me to host my porch I was very excited. I have a great porch that overlooks the Spokane River, making a nice spot for such a gathering to take place.

 

2- How often do you get over to West Central?

I have lived in West Central, actually the same house, since I was born. I’ve seen a lot of changes occur over my lifetime, but the small community feel has never left. I feel very tied to this community. My neighbors feel like family to me and we all look out for each other.

 

3-What do you hope to accomplish at PorchFest? What do you want to help PorchFest accomplish?

I’m excited to be a part of an event that will bring more people into our neighborhood where they can get a taste of our neighborhood’s welcoming and eclectic personality!

 

4-What have you done to build community? What else would you like to do?

In addition to PorchFest, I am also involved with Urban Garden Share for Spokane (http://www.urbangardenshare.org/spokane/). It’s a movement taking place where people can open their garden space to those who don’t have access to a garden and can grow, share and cultivate new friendships. My partner in Urban Garden Share is Bernadette Powers, who also lives in West Central and happens to be my next door neighbor!
