Peggy and Woody talk Programs, Parents and Good Clean Family Fun
Peggy Rubens-Ellis and Woody Pollock interview locals that work with or interact with island youth. For an island of around 10,000, we have an incredible range of skilled people with interesting backgrounds and philosophies. Peggy and Woody dig into their passions, their programs and how they help to make Vashon Island an amazing place to grow up–from birth to graduation. Join us as we interview everyone from a piano teacher to a physician and learn a Parenting Tip from each of our guests.
