Thank you for your thoughtful positivity in looking for ways to make connections happen, get us all involved, and try to get through the roadblocks to equal access for all WA kids.

]]> 2024-10-15 00:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithvontrapp1/4cgtvljj5bvtdgdt/wish/3169068103 Thank you Talia! https://padlet.com/meredithvontrapp1/4cgtvljj5bvtdgdt/wish/3170649185 Thank you so much for all your hard work organizing everything WOSC over the past year. I truly do not think that nearly as much would have gotten done without you. It was always fun to see and talk with you whether on Zoom or on a site visit. I hope to continue seeing you around Outdoor Education opportunities in Washington or elsewhere!

]]> 2024-10-15 17:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithvontrapp1/4cgtvljj5bvtdgdt/wish/3170649185 Friendship https://padlet.com/meredithvontrapp1/4cgtvljj5bvtdgdt/wish/3170772743 You brought together a lot of passionate outdoor educators with backgrounds from all walks of life. Had us spill our thoughts onto many tables. We are far ahead because of the work you did and remember a kid out there who may never have gone to outdoor school is packing bags for something that’ll change their life in a positive way because of you. Keep playing that guitar :)

]]> 2024-10-17 17:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/meredithvontrapp1/4cgtvljj5bvtdgdt/wish/3174771283 Tall Talia! https://padlet.com/meredithvontrapp1/4cgtvljj5bvtdgdt/wish/3174821007 You are a force of nature!!!


When I joined this community a year ago you were one of the first people to welcome me and help me feel included. You did that for so many of us with your welcomes each WOSC meeting. Everyone knows you because you make the effort to know everyone. Your connections were and still are the glue that holds WOSC together!


I know this is the end for now of the Coalition Manager position. I hope that we can find ways for you to stay involved in the future! We wouldn't be who we are today without you!


Somewhere I have a list of guitar songs I was going to send you and someday I'll go through with my plan to buy one and take it up again. You inspired me to!


Take care, Talia! Good luck with the future, near and far! :)


-Patrick
