Zimfest 2022 Update
OC has met twice, and welcomed new members following Alex’s post. Local arrangements and Site Coordinator roles filled, but no Concert Producer has been identified. Claire will send a job description to the board for Concert Producer. Additionally, the OC is looking also for a member with graphics skills.
In addition to Fairgrounds and Lincoln Theatre, Mt Vernon Senior Center at the corner of grounds has three meeting rooms rentable on weekends.
Skagit Valley CC, 3.7 miles away, has inexpensive rentable dorm-style apts; we hope to reserve a block for hosting Zimbabweans based in America and non-campers looking for alternatives
