McKenzie Community Land Trust is taking a pause today to recognize the laborers. A pause to remember the very backbone of this organization, acknowledging all the blood sweat and tears that went into seeing a vision come to fruition.
We could never leave you out of the narrative when we reflect on who has been a part of uplifting and rebuilding the McKenzie, that is still in active recovery. Every blueprint, every plan, every facilitated action, every pipe, every weld, every swing of a hammer, every paint brush, every trench dug, every plant in the ground and more, brought about change. And it still is. Every day that you are present with your strength and willingness.
Perusing through photos, and correspondence, we are aware that there are countless numbers of people to recognize, who have contributed in small and large ways to empowering this organization, our community and our beautiful spaces. The list is far too long to name. Far too many faces to fit in this design today.
If you are not too shy, please put your name & an image of yourself in your industry of expertise below in the comments, and tell us where you contributed, even if you think it is inconsequential, so that we can see a collaborative snapshot of the human toil that worked, “for us, with us, and alongside us,” over the years. Bonus points for black and white snapshots!
Take a day of R&R today and know MCLT could never have done this without you. We hope you are proud ! We are!
