More U-District History
at University of Washington
Lorraine McConaghy, PhD, historian at the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), is teaching a class at the University of Washington this quarter on oral-history research methods. As part of the class, taught through the UW's graduate program in museology, students will interview 16 adults identified by the University District Museum Without Walls who live, work, or own property in close proximity to University Way N.E. - the "Ave." Unlike the Museum Without Walls' previous project, "Open to Question," this project will focus strictly on the Ave as it is today. At the end of the quarter, 16 hours of interviews, recorded and transcribed, will be deposited with the Seattle Public Library at the University Branch, and made available to the public.

Once a year I do a free webinar to help businesses and that time is next week:
Join me next Wednesday, February 2 for a no-cost one hour webinar. I will be conducting this webinar online at two separate times during the day, so more business owners have a chance to attend.
Announcement 2: $200 Early-Bird Registration Discount
For the first time ever, we are offering an Early-Bird registration discount to our March 15-17 Destination BootCamp, which is only held in Longmont, Colorado. Register by February 14 for our March BootCamp and receive a $200 discount off your registration cost.
This is a one-time offer, only for our March 15-17 BootCamp class, and this early registration $200 off bonus is not applicable to our June or September classes. Those always fill up early. Our March BootCamp is traditionally our smallest class, and this is a way to reward you as an E-Newsletter reader, if you have ever thought about attending our BootCamp.
This offer is also only applicable to single, full-priced BootCamp registrations, and the $200 discount cannot be applied with any other discount, nor can it be applied to Community Reinvention Program registrations.
