Looking For Collaborators!
The Mississippi River Stories project is seeking to collaborate with leaders focused on creating meaningful impact on people's lives along the river!
Our goal is to finish this project by Rotary International Convention in Minneapolis 2028!
We've been producing LIVE & INTERACTIVE Zoom broadcasts for three years (often outdoors,) and now invite YOU to be our guest! We are looking for leaders in all fields, (environmental, municipal, cultural, tribal, etc.) to share the stories you
think are important for our community!
Check out "How It Works" below to learn more about this interactive storytelling initiative!
Contact Nicholas to explore your participation in this exciting project!

Connecting With Leaders!
The Story Table Foundation is committed to connecting families and their children to leaders, elders and artists from around the world. Over the past three years, we have made space for over 20 guests, each offering a unique perspective and narrative. We've broadcast from wherever we have an internet signal, frequently outside!
Do you (or someone you know,) have have a beloved story about the Mississippi River that you think is important that others know about? Would it be educationally useful or helpful in building relationship with others? Will it help us know the river better?
We'd love to connect with you 'round the Story Table!
