Yakima Town Hall
Give Us an Hour... We'll Bring You the World
In 1971, a visionary group of energetic, curious Yakima Valley women embarked on a mission to enrich our community by bringing nationally and internationally recognized speakers from the literary, political, artistic, and business worlds to Yakima's historic Capitol Theatre. Today, the fourteen member, all female board furthers that legacy. The Town Hall board members work throughout the year, volunteering their time and talents to investigate, procure funding for, and contract each season's speakers. In addition, this untrained group work together to master the more technical aspects of event planning: logistics, hospitality, marketing, publishing, accounting, data base, development, and community outreach.
Yakima Town Hall is now celebrating it 37th Season of "Give us an hour, we'll bring you the world". Not bad for an all-volunteer board with no paid staff, who run this business out of their kitchens, dens, and a cupboard at Allied Arts!
