West Seattle Hi-Yu: Community breakfast Saturday, float crowdfunding NOW
May 1, 2014 11:11 am
|    Comments Off on West Seattle Hi-Yu: Community breakfast Saturday, float crowdfunding NOW
 |   How to help | West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival | West Seattle news

Two things you can do to keep the West Seattle Hi-Yu tradition going strong: First, a crowdfunding campaign is under way to save the float – last community float in the entire city; as shown in WSB video above, the float is even featured in the Seafair Torchlight Parade every year. Does Ballard have a float? No. Capitol Hill? No. Wallingford? No. West Seattle? YES. But not without you! Here’s the donation page.

Second: This Saturday (May 3rd), start your day with a buffet at the Hi-Yu Community Breakfast, 8 am-11 am at the Alki Masonic Center (40th/Edmunds), $6 adults, $3 for kids under 12. If you’re there at 9:30 am, you’ll see the three Hi-Yu Senior Court candidates (including Hi-Yu’s first-ever male candidate!) present their judged talent performances.

P.S. This year’s Senior Court coronation isn’t far away, either – 2-5 pm Sunday, May 18th, at the Hi-Yu Spring Tea and Silent Auction. Ticket info’s on the Hi-Yu website.

 |   How to help | West Seattle news | West Seattle schools

Two more events to add to our list of what’s up tonight:

SOUTH SEATTLE COLLEGE HONORS CISCOE MORRIS: 6 pm tonight at Brockey Center, the annual “Friends of the College” benefit recognizes outstanding scholarship-recipient students and alumni. In the latter category is gardening personality Ciscoe Morris, chosen Outstanding Alumni of the Year for 2014, 37 years after he graduated from the Landscape and Horticulture program at South.

DINE AT DUKE’S ON ALKI, HELP WEST SEATTLE BOOSTER BACK BASEBALL: First a game report:

That’s pitcher Larry Jensen, who Greg Slader (thanks again for the photo and game summary) says was perfect through three in the Wildcats’ 6-2 loss to Eastside Catholic on Monday. The Wildcats outhit the Crusaders 7-6 but as Greg reports, “one bad inning allowed six runs (after a highly contested play at the plate) and the only numbers that matter are runs scored.” The Wildcats visit Chief Sealth IHS tomorrow at 4 pm – but before that, you can give them a boost TONIGHT by dining at Duke’s Chowder House on Alki. Assistant coach Scott Meaker sends word that Duke’s is donating part of tonight’s proceeds to the West Seattle Booster Club, “in direct support of the West Seattle High School Baseball Team. All the money raised will help support the on-going championship program that last year finished 2nd in the Washington State High School Baseball tournament. That tournament, a trip to Pasco for the championship weekend, depleted all our previously raised funds so help us to replenish them so that we can provide a quality, safe, championship environment to promote better play, better players, and a better, higher quality baseball experience for our student athletes.” Dine at Duke’s 5-10 pm tonight (2516 Alki Ave. SW, reservations encouraged).

The women you’ll meet in that video are what and who “Style ’14” this Thursday night is all about – their stories reveal how you can help Northwest Hope and Healing, the West Seattle/West Seattleite-founded and -run organization that assists cancer patients as they get through day-to-day life, which doesn’t stop down just because you’ve been diagnosed with cancer.

Your ticket gets you into Showbox SODO for a runway fashion show with models who also happen to be breast-cancer survivors. You can get a ticket to just attend the show, or you can buy a VIP ticket including admission to a pre-event party and cocktail reception with “heavy appetizers,” reserved seats, and a thank-you gift. Doors are at 6:30 pm for VIP, 7 pm for general admission, with the fashion show at 7:30 pm; it’s a 21+ event. Also part of “Style ’14”: West Seattle businesses including West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor), Carmilia’s, Coastal, Ola, Twala Intimates, and more, as well as West Seattleites who are on the volunteer planning committee.

(WSB photo from 2013 shopping spree)
If you have some free time around 10 tomorrow morning, or plan to be out grocery shopping anyway, West Seattle Thriftway (WSB sponsor) invites you to come cheer for the West Seattle Food Bank‘s big shopping spree, courtesy of a customer. Michele from Thriftway explains::

During West Seattle Thriftway’s 26th Anniversary Event the company held a fundraiser to benefit the West Seattle Food bank raffling off a $500 Western Family Shopping Spree. Ticket were $1/each and the grand total of money raised reached over $1,500!

The winning ticket, chosen on March 26th, was designated by the purchasing customer to go to the West Seattle Food Bank. Please join us on Friday at 10 a.m.. to cheer on Chris Porter, from the Board of Directors for the Food Bank, as he runs down the aisles grabbing as much Western Family merchandise he can in 4 minutes!

Last year’s spree also turned into a giving spree for the Food Bank. This time of year, giving to the WS Food Bank or its neighboring White Center Food Bank counts extra because until the end of the month – six more days! – the Feinstein Challenge (explained here) magnifies the gift.

 |   How to help | West Seattle news | WS culture/arts

Brand-new fun(draiser), ready to launch – Karaoke Night to benefit the multi-age, multi-skill-level West Seattle Community Orchestras, 7 pm Friday, May 2nd, at historic Kenyon Hall. WSCO says they’re fundraising for a very specific purpose:

As the demand for music programs increases, WSCO continues to provide musicians in the community an artistic outlet. In recent years, their three orchestra groups have almost reached room capacity and many incoming musicians are placed on a waiting list.

Now in WSCO’s 12th season, the Board of Directors have proposed to launch two new music programs that will enable them to accommodate the increasing growth and continue to provide community musicians opportunities for mentorship, performance, and growth. The proposed new groups include a Wind Symphony and an Introduction to Music Class. This fund-raising event will help with startup costs for these new groups.

Join WSCO and DJ “J” for a fun and casual party time! Sing along with the karaoke machine, bring your instrument and music for our on-site piano accompanist, or sing with the piano accompanist.

Tickets at the door: Adults $20, Students (K-12th Grade) $10

Evening will include 50/50 Raffle, Appetizers, Beverages, Cash Bar, and “Cello Shots.” Awards for the Top 5 Performances of the evening.

For event information, please contact Maria Fisher, maria@WSCOrchestras.org

Our area’s latest community-fueled school-playground project – for Pathfinder K-8 School on Pigeon Point – is proceeding, and welcoming more help! Outreach co-chairs Holli Margell and Toni Wells share this update:

We have chosen a design company that has the skills to translate our needs and dreams into reality: Johnson Southerland. Their designs can be played on at Seward Park, Salmon Bay, and Concord Elementary.

Mark your calendars for our first community meeting on April 30th, 5:30-7 pm at Pathfinder K-8 School. Please come, and bring your kids. Your participation at this meeting counts not only toward shaping our playground design, but also toward volunteer hours required for our next grant application (the big one that will help us actually build it).

The time you commit to volunteer will help us get the Large Neighborhood Matching Grant to build it. For example, attending each design meeting (3 x 2 hours) equals 6 pledged hours. We also need folks who can put up posters, help host our three community meetings, and make sure every family in the community knows about the project.

Want to sign up now? Click here. Want to stay in touch? Check out our blog.

Save These Dates: April 30th, 5:30-7:00, May 20th, June 18th (there will be ice cream)!
Where: Pathfinder K8 School, 1901 SW Genesee

It’s volunteer work with a view. If you’ve been thinking about helping Seal Sitters, you can sign up for the group’s next new-volunteer-training session, two weeks from today – 10 am-noon Saturday, April 26th at Alki Bathhouse, with a short on-the-beach session afterward if weather permits. The announcement from Seal Sitters‘ Robin Lindsey:

On Saturday morning, April 26th, Seal Sitters will be holding a special training for those wanting to protect marine mammals along the shoreline of West Seattle and the Duwamish River. Unlike most marine-mammal-stranding networks, we encourage children to participate in Seal Sitters – supervised at all times, of course, by a parent or guardian. We are so proud of our amazing and dedicated volunteers who are on duty rain or shine – we hope you will join us!

A multi-media presentation will illustrate our educational work in the community and the unique challenges of protecting seals and other marine mammals in an urban environment. Included in the training is an overview of NOAA’s Western Region Marine Mammal Stranding Network and biology and behavior of seals and other pinnipeds (due to time frame, supplementary sessions will include more marine mammals of Puget Sound).

You’re asked to RSVP ASAP if you’ll be there – the link is on this page of the Seal Sitters’ site.

You can help! Chief Sealth IHS Football taking the field vs. MS
April 6, 2014 7:05 pm

 |   How to help | West Seattle news

Off the field, the Chief Sealth International High School football team is looking for a win right now – in the fight against multiple sclerosis. From head coach Luther Carr:

Chief Sealth International Football is again participating in WALK MS this year on April 13, 2014. Please donate to MS (Multiple Sclerosis) society on behalf of CSI SEAHAWKS FOOTBALL. Last year we raised more than $1,300 dollars for MS. Our goal this year, $2,500.00!!!

This annual walk is a community-service event organized throughout the country to increase awareness and fundraise for the research into Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). This condition affects millions worldwide. Some of the symptoms of those with this condition experience periods of numbness, loss of sensitivity, muscle spasms, loss of speech, fatigue, and blindness. Episodes can occur without warning and without any inciting factors lasting days, weeks or months. I personally decided to get involved because a friend lost his sight in one eye as a result of MS. Early and ongoing treatment with an FDA-approved therapy can make a difference for many people with Multiple Sclerosis. To learn more about MS, go to nationalmssociety.org To learn more about WALK MS Seattle 2014, go to nationalmssociety.org/Chapters/WAS.

Walk MS Seattle 2014 is a great opportunity for Chief Sealth High School football players. They are fundraising for a worldwide condition that affects millions, and has no cure. They are also learning the act of service! As an added benefit, each player will also earn community service credit hours needed to graduate from Seattle Public Schools.

If you would like to donate to MS Society (no donation too large or too small) on behalf of CSI Seahawks Football, please go to http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR?pg=entry&fr_id=22696. Once on the main site: 1. Click on TEAM INFO 2. Click on Team List 3. Scroll down to Seattle, Washington April 13, 2014 and click on TEAM LIST 4. Find our team, CSI Seahawks Football, and donate. Thank you very much and Go Seahawks.

Saving Fairmount Ravine’s trees: Cleanup-followup report

Thanks to Keith Schieron for sharing the photos and report:

This morning we held an event to cut ivy and other invasive species in the Fairmount Ravine.

This event was held as a followup to last month’s Fairmount Ravine cleanup event. While last month we focused on garbage, this weekend we focused on getting the ivy and other invasive species under control. The Seattle Parks Department supplied tools and hand outs about the value of the native trees and forests here in our lovely city.

We had nine volunteers out to help, including two of our longest-serving volunteers, John Lang and Blair Constantine, who have been part of the Fairmount Ravine yearly project for twenty-one years!

The group cleared ivy from the base of nearly thirty trees and we built the spirit of community that makes living in West Seattle so special.

Thanks to all of the volunteers for sharing their Saturday morning with us!
