This past week, East Jefferson Habitat for Humanity Chapter (https://www.habitat.org/us-wa/port-townsend/east-jefferson-county-hfh) decided to get outside of the office / worksite and try something new with the help of Northwest Maritime Center Program Staff and Longboat Townshend.
- They wanted to…
- do “something that would be fun for people and totally different from the normal workday, something that would get people outside their normal comfort levels but also be really a thrill for them.”
- Their goals included…
- giving “a chance for people to play, to let go of their normal responsibilities, to see one another in a totally different environment doing totally different things”
How will we get the boat out of the marina?
Leadership in action!

As you can see from the photos, many smiles were captured on the 4-hour experience. Thanks to Habitat for Humanity Staff for showing up for the experience and for each other!
