LSO Episode 41: Tish McFadden - Author, Music Teacher, Rumtum School of Music

Tish loves teaching kids outdoors, playing music with my ukulele band, SOUP SENSATION. She also cherishes spending time with her family, including her children, grandchildren and husband. Tish is on the Board of Directors of the Multicultural Association of Southern Oregon. She also recently volunteered at our overnight Indigenous Cultural Camp at Lake of the Woods. The mission of MCASO is aligned with the mission of her cultural and environmental work in writing, songwriting, and education. Tish is also affiliated with the Table Rock Foundation, just north of Grants Pass, Their mission statement: Drawing on the wisdom of the past, they empower future generations to live in harmony with each other and the earth. Tish volunteers on the Cultural Committee of the Applegate Watershed and Partnership Council. Our current project is designing and building a memorial at Cantrall Buckley Park along the Applegate River in honor of Takelma Elder, Agnes Baker Pilgrim, a local legend and founding member of the Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. She passed in November, 2019. We named the memorial site, Dragonfly Place, because the Dragonfly is Grandma Aggie’s totem. http://www.tablerockfoundation.org/contact-us.html Moxie Cafe & Market - Ashland Song of the Redwing - Book Up River to Morning, A journey to wisdom - book Applegate Watershed - Agnes @ Central Buckley Park - Dragonfly Place Grizzly Peak Winery Wooldridge Winery & Creamery DelRio Vineyards Red Lily Vineyards Irving Roberts Vineyards
