Friends of Columbia Schoolnext meeting: Nov 15 at 10am in Tutta Bella In the summer of 2009, the New School will leave the Columbia School for its new facility in Rainier Beach, and for the first time in more than 100 years a public school may not be operating in the heart of Columbia City. Over the coming year, Seattle Public Schools will likely decide what to do with the building. People have expressed lots of ideas about how the property could be reused. Community members founded Friends of Columbia School (FoCS) to help inform, engage, and involve the community regarding the future use and development of Columbia School. Please join us for coffee and a discussion about the future of this great community asset. — |

Help feed your neighbors this holiday seasonTo ensure that our pantry is well stocked for the holidays, Rainier Valley Food Bank (RVFB) will be holding a food drive, and we sure could use your help! Where: The Safeway store at 3820 Rainier Ave S What volunteering looks like: Volunteer shifts are two hours long. You'll pass out flyers to people entering the store (the flyers contain a grocery list with our most needed items). Some people will purchase items inside the store and drop them off with you. You give them a warm thank you and a smile and pack the groceries into the containers provided by RVFB. How do I volunteer for this event? Call Michele at 617-1664 and sign up for a time and date! Thanks so much for your interest. Hope we see you at the food drive! |
