TRI CLUB PRESENTATION
All
three
Rotary
clubs
and
the
Jefferson
County
Bar
Association
are
all
looking
forward
to
the
AG's
visit
and
presentation
to
Rotary
clubs
in
Port
Townsend
4/9 Siobhan Canty Chief Executive Officer at Jefferson
Community Foundation
Siobhan
will
be
doing
a
presentation
regarding
how
the
Jefferson
Community
Foundation
can
support
the
idea
of
a
local
PT
Rotary
Foundation
fund should we endeavor to start one.
Kirk
Boxleitner
is
on
the
beat
as
a
reporter
and
photographer
with
the
Port
Townsend
&
Jefferson
County Leader.
He
served
seven
years
as
a
U.S.
Navy
journalist,
including
overseas
duty
as
part
of
Operation
Enduring
Freedom
and
Operation
Iraqi
Freedom.
He
served
in
Italy
and
Japan,
with
his
last
station
aboard
the
aircraft
carrier
USS
Theodore
Roosevelt.
According
to
the
FCC,
100%
of
rural
Ferry
County
in
E
WA
is
served
with
access
to
broadband
internet.
According
to
Microsoft,
the
actual
percentage
is
closer
to
3%.
For
Jefferson
County
the
numbers
aren’t
quite
as
disparate—the
FCC
reports
82%
of
our
county
has
access
to
broadband
while
Microsoft
puts
the
number
near
36%,
which
is
better
but
still
not
great.
At
Jefferson
County
PUD
we
also
know
that
large
sections
of
our
county
have
either
no
access
to
internet,
let
alone
broadband.
We
know
this
because
they
call
every
day
asking
what
we
can
do
about
it.
What
can
we
do
about
it?
That’s
what
the
PUD
is
exploring
during
the
first
half
of
2019
as
it
develops
a
strategic
plan
for
expanding
access
to
broadband
infrastructure
in
its
service
territory.
JPUD
Communications
Manager
Will
O’Donnell
will
give
an
update
on
the
plan
and
the
PUD’s
history
with broadband.
Jefferson Healthcare's Patient Advocate
and Health and Wellness Nurse and
Coach, Jackie Levin RN will talk about
how the patient concern and resolution
process and the Patient Family Advisory
Council transform care through the
voice of patients and families and how
local business can participate.
