Looking to add more events to the calendar, but these are the active ones as of right now.

Okay I'm going to try and keep this semi-short, but also share enough details for people to provide relevant options/ideas. Thank you in advance for any insight or recommendations!

Dual income, no kids. First time home buyer. Only I'm on the deed & make the most income. My partner's hours were cut last month & my remote job is looking less and less secure this year (due to structural issues within the company; which has been ongoing for a few years & feel efforts have been unsuccessful/unstable). This has given me a lot of mental stress, and am currently in the mindset of trying to figure out if I just deal with the sh\*t/change my mindset & hope it gets better, OR find a back-up to jump ship to before it's too late. Have talked to the owner about it a few times & he says not to worry, but I'm worried.

I'd need to make as close to $60K annually for us to make it by somewhat comfortably. I'm very budget savvy (I created a spreadsheet) & could cut back a little on food costs, but that's literally all I could cut back on (everything else are essentials such as home bills, car insurance, health insurance). No debts other than the house loan being paid off.

I'm curious to see what options are out there for remote or in-person careers. I have a Bachelor's degree (Journalism & Mass Communications, with a minor in Entrepreneurship) and am super loyal to business owners/companies that reciprocate the care I put into my intrapreneurship approach & work time/talent/energy with them (maybe too loyal to a fault, but really enjoy doing good work with people I enjoy building with). Would love to stick with my current job for 20+ more years but I just don't know if I can rely on that at this point, which is devastating to me.

I work well cross-generationally, typically get promoted within my roles, and have 6-10 years experience in the following: digital/social media marketing, photography/videography/editing, internal sales/b2b sales, training staff (e.g. job tasks, new hire onboarding, loan processing), crm, customer service, producer/event coordinating, assistant/admin work, operations management (my current role). If it involves day-to-day business back-end operations or implementing business owner's vision/goals, I've probably done it, or can catch on fast.

I have a lot of prior experience in real estate marketing/lead gen/internal sales agent tasks, but would prefer not doing that again for various reasons. But would be open to it for the right pay & people, given the situation. Besides that I have typically worked with arts-based industries and small businesses, but open to the trades or other ideas, just need some guidance. Creative Consultant has been an idea in the past. Okay I'll stop stress rambling now.

Any career ideas or opportunities? Companies hiring that fit those skill sets? Other constructive thoughts?

Hey all! I've been organizing community-led trash cleanup events, and have been trying to do at least one a month (while the weather permits). Am working on building a consistent crew for it & would love to have dedicated trash grabbers for the volunteers.

I've collected a few already, but am looking to add maybe 4 more, since we have about 8 people on a regular basis. Plan to still work with Spokane Riverkeeper on other loaned items as needed, but having our own grabbers would be extremely helpful.

Does anyone have an extra trash grabber laying around they'd like to donate for these events?

Also, any recommendations on where our group should clean up next in August? For a group of 10-20 people to clean up.

Does anyone know of someone in town who can get a record player working again? I have a personal project I'm looking to do this summer.

Thank you to everyone who provided some materials & directed me to resources! New Roots Spokane is starting to get some events planned for the summer. Working towards a trash cleanup on May 30th (planning to do one once a month).

RSVP here & join in on the fun. https://linktr.ee/newrootsspokane

Does anyone have some trash picker grabbers they don't use? Or are there any local organizations that do small scale trash pick-up projects or walks? Would love to get a consistent group going that meet once a month to clean a site/area together. Would be cool to either partner with a group that does it already or to get the materials donated so I can coordinate the people and all other details for it.

Why did Sandos seem to shut down and then re-open (I think like 2 months or so ago)? I ask because it looks like they did some rebranding or something and the sandwiches are a bit different now. Was curious about the backstory of that.

Any referrals for someone? The lawn is looking a little brown in spots and wondering if anyone knows someone to reseed and/or provide some guidance on how to upkeep it. Thanks!
