I took this class last time it was offered and it was a lot of fun. I’d highly suggest it to anybody interested in learning more about the local political process and how to get more involved. Please email (phillip@pinehurstseattle.org) or call (206-973-7237) if you have any questions. –Phillip Duggan

I have previous confirmed that I will attend all of the three days (Oct 15,22, 29)
This is just to reconfirm. Thank you for giving us this wonderful opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills we need be prepared for civic engagement and also to pass on to others what we will have learned.
I feel that civic engagement more that social services will empower and encourage individuals to navigate their environment so they can be e Socially involved, politically engaged and economically productive, to be self-sufficient and contributing members of the society.
WAY TO GO!

I’m just promoting the event here because I thought it was a great opportunity and enjoyed it when I did it. I’m not actually running the event myself.
