Last week’s Multicultural Gathering was snowed out. So it’s been rescheduled for this Wednesday, 1/25, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm at the Neighborhood House. Bring a snack to share to celebrate Lunar New Year and plan the coming year’s projects.

Come out and join your neighbors for a little community clean up on Saturday morning, January 14, at 10am. Bring gloves if you have them; grabbers and bags provided. Andrew promises extra-hot coffee. And the weather forecasters haven’t yet said “Snow” and “Saturday”. See, you don’t have any more excuses!

There is only 30 feet of trail left to surface with gravel chips and the Hazelnut Loop trail in our local woods, Cheasty Greenspace at Mt. View. That’s just 30 more feet and we’ve got a complete and accessible walking trail just across Columbian/Alaska to the south of NRV!

Can you come out on Saturday, Jan. 7 at 10am (meet at 2809 S Alaska Pl) to help finish the trail? Gloves and tools are provided, just bring your own water and your enthusiasm!

Also, Cheasty Greenspace at Mt. View has received a third round of funding from Seattle’s Department of Neighborhoods! This new funding will go to completing the Ridge Trail and the Angeline/28th St trail head in 2012. Check out the Trail Master Plan, priority 2, for details on these new projects. Our first trail might be almost done, but there is plenty of work still to be done in our woods. How many first Saturdays can you commit???

Contact Mary for more information.

It’s NRV Neighborhood Cleanup Time! Come out to the Central Park on Saturday, Dec. 10 at 10am. Bring your gloves if you have them; grabbers and some gloves are available. Coffee, doughnuts, neighbors, and keeping our community clean. Join in!

The next NRV Community Kitchen will be held this coming Friday, Nov. 18, from 10am til noon, at the NRV Neighborhood House. Seattle Tilth will be running the class and teaching residents how to make their own pickles. The class is free and all supplies are provided. Students will take home jars of pickles at the end of the class!

Come out and help keep our community looking great! The monthly neighborhood cleanup will be Saturday, November 12 at 10am. Meet in Central Park (or under the awning at the Neighborhood House if it’s raining). Grabber and bags, coffee and doughnuts provided. Bring your own gloves if you have them (although some are on hand if you don’t).

If you need to complete some community service hours for school, this event qualifies.

Come out and join friends and neighbors in our local woods on Saturday, November 5 from 10am to 2pm. We’ll be planting lots of trees and shrubs as part of the City-wide effort of Green Seattle Day.

Registration for this event is encouraged. Your registration helps keep track of the interest and involvement in the restoration and improvement work going on at Cheasty Greenspace at Mt. View. Also, there are rumors that there’s free stuff available as thank you gifts for registered volunteers.

Gloves and tools and training provided on Nov. 5th. Please dress in warm layers and rain gear and bring your own water bottle and lunch.

Construction on the northeast corner of NRV is completed. There will be a Celebration on Thursday, October 20 from 3pm to 5pm at 4200 MLK. Stephanie Van Dyke, SHA’s Director of Development, will speak at 3:30 and appetizers will be served.

Do you see the announcements for the monthly NRV Community Cleanup and think it’s a great idea, but think that 10am on a Saturday morning is unreasonable? Come out for an afternoon cleanup! On Saturday, Sept. 24 at 3pm, join your neighbors in some community service. Grabbers and bags provided. Bring gloves if you have them, although there are some to borrow if you don’t. There may even be treats.

The next work party on the new Hazelnut Loop trail in Cheasty Greenspace at Mt. View will be this Saturday, Sept. 3, from 10am to noon-ish. The gravel surface is almost done and every helpful hand is wanted to be sure it’s complete and walkable by fall.

Meet at 2809 S Alaska Place. All tools, gloves and guidance are provided. Bring your own water and wear sturdy shoes.
