Once again, more than 70 volunteers from Kaiser Permanente in Sonoma & Marin (medical & support staff, including family members in many cases) participated in the MLK Day of Service on January 20, 2020.
Rebuilding Together Petaluma (RTP) was the lead agency coordinating and supporting Kaiser’s efforts through project design and management–which is how I came to be there again with cameras at the ready! Their attention this year was focused on the Polly Hannah Klaas Theater in downtown Petaluma
They spent the day clearing the Theater from decades of unwanted accumulated equipment and broken items–plus more than a bit of landscape maintenance. This work was in advance of the pending purchase of the Theater by the Polly Klaas Foundation for eventual renovation and revival of it as a performing arts theater for children.
Once the renovation is complete, it will be the only performance theater in downtown Petaluma available for youth and after-school programming as well as local and visiting artists to provide live performances for our community.
