A note from the Silver Lake Association:We ended up having 1 person from our community help; hopefully next time we can get more volunteers.
Here is a little news from the Silver Lake neighborhood project from Sunday's flower project.
With the help of volunteer neighbors, family, and local businesses, Everett's Silver Lake Action Committee added spring color along 19th Ave. SE in the Silver Lake area with a grant from Everett's Office of Neighborhoods. Folks formed teams to add hardy plants to 6 planters, 2 corridor sign flower beds, and several corner flower beds from 9am to noon Sunday, May 2.
"We beat the rain that was forcast for today" smiled David Chrisman, neighborhood chairperson, "and the added color spruces up some overlooked eye-sores". It's nice to see plans come to fruition after several months of preparation he added.
The event was staged at the Solid Rock Coffee cafe which opened on a Sunday when they would otherwise be closed. Silver Lake Elementary School students created a big poster to celebrate the "Flower Day" and will add flowers at their school on Monday. The Kiwanis brought a small army to pitch in and the plant donations were contributed from the new Ace Hardware and Lowes in Mill Creek. Cedar Grove Compost hauled six yards of free soil for the neighborhood project. Other supporters include Safeway at Silver Lake, Seattle Outboard Racing (Mini Hydros), and Fred Meyer.
Let me know if you have any questions or visit the neighborhood web site for more info about this Thursday's guest speaker, Winter Olympic Ski Racer Yina Moe-Lange from Sammamish WA, talking about health and fitness?
Thanks and have a great day! (I sent this to the Herald and Tribune)
