*****Junction Plaza Park Update*****
A Friends of Junction Plaza Park meeting will be held on Monday, July 6, 2009, 6-7pm in the Nucor Room of the Senior Center. This will be a great time to learn the lastest about the park and prepare for tabling at Summer Fest.
We've won our Neighborhood Matching Fund grant of $98,761! This is an excellent victory for our park and each of you can be proud for helping. All of those who signed the pledge form helped demonstrate the community support for this project - and that community support was a big reason that we won this competitive grant. Thank you!
We now have raised $295,000 and have $55,000 remaining. With this much in hand, we are almost assured to break ground in 2009, but more outreach and fundraising is needed.
Please help close the gap by volunteering at West Seattle Summer Fest on July 10, 11 or 12. Friends of Junction Plaza Park will have a tent in the heart of the festival. Volunteers will staff the booth, share basic information about the park, and show people the clear box to deposit their small donation. Volunteers will always be in pairs.
Sign up now for one or more shifts! Let me know if you'd like a specific shift or if you're flexible.
Friday: 10 to 1, 1 to 4, 3:30 - 6
Saturday: 10 to 1, 1 to 4, 3:30 - 6
Sunday: 11-1:30, 1 to 3, 3 - 5
Please respond back via email with the times that you'd like to volunteer (or if you're flexible) and if you'll bring a partner.
