Meeting of the Minds – “The CCC in Moran State Park” – Wednesday, June 16, 1 – 2 p.m.
||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||
Please join writer and historian Janet Oakley for her talk on the Civilian Conservation Corps, which will highlight the work of the CCC on Orcas Island. Janet will discuss the history, structure, and projects of the CCC, as well as the CCC’s impact on Washington State, national parks, and the environment.
Janet has been researching and writing about the CCC in Washington State for the past twenty-five years. For two years, she was a Humanities Washington speaker traveling around the state talking about the CCC, particularly about its local camps. She and another historian secured a wonderful CCC worker statue for the Visitors Center in Glacier, Washington.
