Something I'm deeply appreciating in my new community is how much depends on people who step in in public service. One person can truly make a difference. What's amazing us is that some individuals seem to be everywhere we turn.
Some are born and bred here. Others are high-spirited "people from away" who transform the town in unique ways.
One of the newer arrivals is Joan Lowden, better known as the Bass Lady jazz host on our community radio station. She loves to give shout-outs to others, so here's one for her.
The former Silicon Valley ventures whiz is much more than a voice. She's an organizer, fundraiser, website consultant, active volunteer, and cheerful doer who makes things happen, often behind the scenes.
This weekend's ArtWalk offers some fine examples.
Here Joan is at our monthly open mic event, both singing and playing bass. She's also a key player in MICE, the Moose Island contradance band, and a welcome member of varied combos. She even starred at our Mardi Gras night at the senior center while definitely lowering the median age.
