Peak Moment TV to look at how local investing works in Port Townsend, WA March 16, 17

POTSDAM – Peak Moment TV, aired on WCKN-TV on Monday, March 16 and Tuesday, March 17 at 7 p.m., Peak Moment TV host Janaia Donaldson discovers how local investing works in Port Townsend, Washington.

We’re “keeping money flowing locally so we’re more prosperous as a community,” says James Frazier, co-founder of the Local Investment Opportunities Network (LION) in Port Townsend, Washington. LION is a clearinghouse between business owners like Matthew Day and potential investors like Kees Kolff.

A business owner presents an investment opportunity to LION members. It’s all based on one-to-one personal relationships, so support can be more than monetary, says Kees — such as interest paid in locally-produced cheese and cider!

Now in its seventh year locally, the Peak Moment TV programs air every week at 7 pm on Monday and Tuesday on WCKN, Time Warner Digital 30. Peak Moment explores locally reliant living for challenging times. The programs are underwritten locally by The Center for Excellence in Communication at Clarkson University and the Seymour Family of Potsdam.

Peak Moment topics include local food production, renewable energy, transportation alternatives, sustainable building, preparedness and psychological, business, and governmental responses. All the programs are available on the internet at www.wordpress.peakmoment.tv/conversations/ in both video and audio format.

More than 80 Peak Moment TV shows are available on DVDs which can be borrowed from the Potsdam Public Library from the collection of shows purchased for broadcast locally.
