The greatest little arts board in South
Sound needs some savvy PR support. Patrons of South Sound Cultural Arts – POSSCA – is a long-standing non-profit
organization that funds two education-centric programs, as well as activities that support a rich and diverse community culture.
Scholarships
for high school seniors who continue their arts study at the college level.
§ Six
talented scholarship winners in 2008 – musicians, actors and writers, who have the funds to make their creative mark
in higher ed.
CAPS,
which puts musical instruments into the hands of kids whose families can’t
afford to buy or rent an instrument.

Community
culture. We raise money for public art, and the building and renovation of local
performance spaces.
§ Ever
pass the Kissing Couple statue at Percival Landing? POSSCA joined a group of local
funders who made it happen.
We have a terrific story to tell and just
need someone to tell it.
Eat.
Drink. Dig the Live Music. Our big fundraiser – coming up in July 2009
– is the OlyBite. We’ll take over the Port Plaza for this amazing food, wine and entertainment event. Some of
the best chefs in our region will cook their signature dishes. In the Wine & Spirits Garden – Washington vintners
and microbrewers will thrill the palette with South Sound’s remarkable potables. And, on the OlyBite main stage –
we’re lining up some terrific local talent.
We’re
looking for a media specialist…
… to join the POSSCA board and lead
the development and implementation of a smart marketing strategy. We’d also like to form a committee of talented PR
folks who can raise the profile of the organization and highlight the work and value of this hardworking organization and
its energetic, highly motivated board.
