We have good news and a request for help. Both are related.
The good news is that Pinehurst has received a generous $2,820 donation from the City of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods Matching Fund to help us pay for the August 9th (4 to 7 PM at the Pinehurst Playfield) Pinehurst Summer Social. The grant will help us with outreach (including a bulk mailing) and running the event.
The favor is that we need to raise $500 to match the contribution from the City. Two generous donors have already given $250 toward this match amount. So, we need to raise $250 more by Friday, June 20th. If you can help, even with $5, let me know and I will send you the mailing address. Checks should be made to Pinehurst Community Council.
Thank you for considering this. And, regardless of your ability to help by donating funds, there are many other ways to help by volunteering for the event.
Update (6/11/08): Thank you to everyone who has committed to contribute!! I think we have what we need to make our match!! You have all been so generous and kind in supporting this event and our community!
