My name is Woody Widmark, lifelong Sitkan, born and raised here, retired from the Sitka School District 25 years as the Sports Coordinator, and did youth and adult recreational activities.
My passion is seeing kids grow in a healthy and a safe environment to build lifelong skills, and that’s why I’m supporting Ballot Prop 2025-18. I’ve seen how important providing safe recreational facilities for youth can be, where they can be themselves, be safe and be with their friends, build trust and grow.
It’s important that we invest in spaces like this for our kids, elders and multi-generational activities. In a time where so many programs are being cut, it’s important for us to be investing in our kids. Our future is in our kids, and it’s priceless.
Investing in our community is important to me, and that’s why I am supporting Ballot Proposition 2025-18.
