What happens to local internet and utilities during major global events
How to keep your network reliable under pressure
How to protect your business and your customers

The Senior Public Safety Miniseries consists of five sessions. You can attend one or all of them. Check the flyer(PDF, 3MB) for the other topics and dates.

Voices are heard, even if their topics are not chosen.
Silent topic writing helps prevent the influence of others' ideas.

Facilitation:
Everyone’s role is to facilitate participation so that everyone leaves with fresh insights.

With a combination of emotional vocal delivery, fresh melodic arrangements, and airtight accompaniment, Gallowglass has developed a style of contemporary Celtic folk that Irish Music Magazine calls "an inspired approach to the tradition." The group, featuring Jan Peters (vocals, harmonica), Mishon Kirkland (vocals, Irish flute), Zach Bauman (Irish Bouzouki) and David Pender Lofgren (Bodhrán), has become one of the Pacific Northwest's most celebrated Celtic music ensembles. Gallowglass has shared the stage with Dervish, Peter Rowan, Jolie Holland, and other luminaries of the folk scene, establishing themselves as innovators among their peers and captivating audiences with their signature sound. The release of their album, 'Dear Ruin' in 2024, has garnered critical acclaim and is enjoying international radio play. While Gallowglass is steeped in tradition, they are keeping their eyes on the horizon and have built a fire for all to gather around.
