6:30 prefunk, meeting at 7pm. everyone is welcome!

**correction from earlier post location changed to Stables.

Hi- Our cat has gone AWOL, and we are concerned, so would appreciate it if the
neighbors could keep an eye out for us.  He is mostly black with a 2" white spot
on his belly.  Green eyes and a long tail.  He is very friendly, but pretty
skittish around strangers.  He is microchipped, but was not wearing a collar. 
Name is Desman, but can't say he'll answer to it...  If you see a cat looking
hungry and freaked out that matches this description, please let Royce or
Francine know at this email address, 206-291-6548, 206-501-0253, or at 6444
Flora.  Thanks very much, we will share the best of our scotch, chocolate, wine,
or anything else with anyone who can help find our very sweet, but not entirely
bright cat.  Thanks- Royce and Francine

HI Folks,
I wanted invite Georgetown folks to participate in our fundraiser, tonight(Sat)!
You can come out to Art Attack, eat, drink, see some great music, and be merry
while also supporting an awesome program, the Wild and Scenic Institute!  A
handful of South Park kids will even be giving a short presentation at the
Seattle Drum School to kick off the event around 6pm!

WSI is gearing up for our Bald Eagle floats on the Skagit River where we take
young people to see the Eagles migrating for the spawning salmon. There are
literally hundreds of eagles! It's really cool!  We're also hoping to schedule a
ski trip for physically disabled kids.

Basically, you donate $20, and receive a VIP Pass that get's you special prices
at participating restaurants and bars, and, entry into 2 shows (valued at over
$35).  We end the evening with Music by Danny Godinez, and, Spare Rib & the
Bluegrass Sauce at Slim's Last Chance.  If you can't join us for the whole
event, you could meet us at Slim's around 9pm.  $7 door is being donated to WSI
as well.

We have some great raffle prizes (which you can also purchase separately from
me)for things like a certificate to Bike So Good, a belt from Steel Toe Shoes, a
2 day rafting adventure, gift certificate to Cutting Board, 2 music lessons at
the Seattle Drum School, A Gift Pack from Sister Sage Herbs, Full bottle
throttle, HOME, etc.

Please see our website for details at www.wildandscenic.org or if you're on
Facebook, check out our page! The event is detailed under "Events" on our FB
page.

We're also having a Float for Donors on January 9 which costs $100, but if you
bring 12 people to the Georgetown Fundraiser, or raise $300 for WSI, we'll take
you for free.

Oh yeah, and if you pay in advance either via paypal, or directly to me (I'm
here in SP, and will be home most of the day), you can get 15% off an item at
REI (some restrictions apply, but geez... that could be worth $20 right there!).

Hope you can make it!  If you just want to come to the presentation around
6/6:15pm, and have a cup of hot cocoa, and learn more about us, we'd love to
have you.

Thanks!

Jennifer Anspach
Executive Director
Wild and Scenic Institute

Hello neighbors.  I'm looking for a cool looking raw industrial space

Another plug about the Opportunity Fund.

http://www.seattle.gov/parks/levy/opportunity.htm

Parks and Green Spaces Levy
Opportunity Fund

________________________________

Up to $1,500,000. What Parks project would you initiate?

This is your opportunity to get involved in your Seattle parks system. Dedicated
community organizations and individuals mounted a grassroots effort to pass the
2008 Parks and Green Spaces Levy, and now Parks is looking for your input. This
Levy allocated $15 million to the Opportunity Fund.

The Opportunity Fund provides solely for community initiated park projects. You
have the opportunity to propose a park development project and/or propose a
piece of property for Parks to acquire. Parks will award $7 million to projects
in this first funding cycle of the Opportunity Fund through a citywide
nomination process. The Levy Citizens Oversight Committee has developed criteria
for evaluating, nominating, and recommending Opportunity Fund projects to the
City Council.

The first round is open for you to submit your Project Proposal Letter. Parks is
hosting four technical workshops to help you develop your Proposal Letter and to
answer questions about the Opportunity Fund criteria. Proposal Letters must be
submitted by February 1, 2009. The next step is to develop your application,
which is due on April 2, 2009. Sorry, no applications will be accepted without
an initial proposal letter.

Hey Georgetown-

I wanted to write to say thank you. Thank you for being the awesome
community that you are. Thank you for making the effort to all get
together several times a year (like we just did on Monday at the
Holiday Party). Thank you for your dedication to making our hood as
good as it can be (projects like the Hat and Boots renovation, the
monthly Art Attack, and to all who open their homes and yards for the
annual Garden Walk). Thank you for stepping up and taking care of
your neighbors when they are in need, and watching out for them when
they are not home.
We live in a very special community, and every so often it's
important to take a moment and truly appreciate how fortunate we all
are. Thank you, Georgetown.

Peace.
Joel
