    2. Teepa Snow: Caring for those with Dementia @ Providence Mount St. Vincent
      8:00 am – 5:00 pm

      Providence Mount St. Vincent will once again bring dementia care educator Teepa Snow to Seattle to train caregivers how to care for those living with dementia.

      Snow will offer three free workshops. All will take place at the Providence Mount St. Vincent Chapel – 3rd floor, 4831 35th Ave SW, Seattle.

      These presentations are ideal for professional and family caregivers helping a loved one living with dementia at home or other living situations such as assisted living facilities or nursing homes.

      Session two, “Focus on activities: What’s cooking and activities and programming for men,” will be held Wednesday, June 19, 2013, from 8 am to 12 pm. RSVP requested for those staying for lunch (small charge, cash or check only).

      Session three, “Focus on caregiving tasks and getting the person clean and mouth care,” will be held Wednesday June 19, 2013, from 1 to 5 pm. RSVP requested for those staying for lunch (small charge, cash or check only).

      Teepa Snow has worked for more than 30 years in geriatrics, receiving local, statewide and national recognition for her expertise in geriatrics, dementia care and staff training. She has developed two training videos, published many articles, and presents on a variety of topics.

      Snow’s workshops on caring for those with memory problems have been offered across the country. They help caregivers better understand dementia conditions and the symptoms that accompany them and provide tools and knowledge to help caregivers better interact and communicate with those they care for. Caregivers will learn how to provide care without taking over and will be encouraged to take care of themselves and reach out to others to form stronger ties and support. Whether a professional or family caregiver, a volunteer or a student, this workshop will be valuable to you.

      For more information or to RSVP for lunch at either or both Wednesday session, please contact Robert (Bob) Butzerin at Robert.Butzerin@providence.org.

      9:00 pm – 9:00 pm

      Fully backlined open mic at Skylark starts at 9pm, ages 21+. Our Open Mic rules! There is no host to hog the spotlight, just a friendly sound engineer. You do a quick line check, introduce yourself to the audience, and get right to performing your 15-minute set (three songs is a good estimate since that includes set up and break down time).

      Sign-up sheet goes out every Wednesday at 8:00pm sharp (trivia will still be in progress so don’t be alarmed). You must be present in person to sign up for an open mic slot. The only exception is bands on tour who have made arrangements in advance for a particular time.

      We are set up for full bands of any genre, singer/songwriters, and pretty much anything else unplugged or plugged. Our backline is one bass amp, two guitar amps, one full drum set, and multiple mics/micstands and music stands. Additional details here.

      Gina & Marcelas Owen – YOUNGBLOOD’s HEALTHCARE ADVOCACY

      Six years ago Marcelas Owens & his Grandmother Gina, claimed the healthcare spot-light at the greatest personal cost. Tiffany Owens, (Marcelas’ mother) was constantly ill & unable to work, therefore lost her health coverage. Her plight, as like many hard working Americans who hover at the edge of financial obscurity became the message that brought the face of discrepancies in healthcare to the foreground. Marcelas was 8 years old when his reality struck and ever since then he’s continued his mothers work. His voice & story has taken him from Olympia to Washington DC. Come hear their continued & combined efforts to fight for healthcare for all.

      BIO:
      Marcelas Owens has now graduated from Madrona Middle School. Gina Owens; who is a continued Grassroots Leader/Lobbyist for Washington CAN and has been a member of the Joint Policy Advisory Committee at Seattle Housing Authority-Joint Policy Advisory Committee. Before her daughter’s passing, Gina had already advocated for Healthcare Reforms. She continues her efforts alongside her grandson.

      PLEASE FORWARD THIS INVITE TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS! YOU ARE A PART OF A COMMUNITY, BE HERE. WE’LL SEE YOU ON FRIDAY, JUNE 21ST!!!

      Categories: Sports

      Major League Ultimate (MLU) is establishing one of its eight professional ultimate frisbee teams in the Seattle area. The Seattle Rainmakers join the MLU’s Western Conference, and kick off their season on April 20th against the Vancouver Nighthawks at SWAC (Southwest Athletic Complex).

      The regular season schedule runs from April 20 through June 22. Games are played at the Southwest Athletic Complex near Chief Sealth High School, and tickets are available for $16. Discounts are available for students and children. See the season schedule (with ticketing links) by going here.

      The Seattle Rainmakers are coached by the highly decorated Ben Wiggins, a participant in, and coach of, elite ultimate in the northwest for the better part of the last decade. Wiggins has won awards at the highest level of collegiate ultimate, taken three club championships with Seattle’s premier club team, Seattle Sockeye, and has two World Championship silver medals to his name.

      “Seattle has an amazing Ultimate community,” said Wiggins. “Hopefully the Rainmakers can show them something new that also embodies a love for the game wherever we play.”

      Wiggins selected a 25-man roster in mid-March following a comprehensive two-day combine that tested participants on speed, strength, agility and disc skills. The resulting team is deep on talent, athleticism and, perhaps most importantly, experience.

      “I think the Rainmakers are right there talent-wise with the best teams in the league,” said General Manager Max Vitali. “When you look at the years of experience a lot of these players bring and combine it with the pedigree of our coaching staff, it’s tough to find another team in the league that looks better on paper than us.”

      Vitali is looking forward to watching his team in action, and has high hopes for their prospects in this inaugural season. More than that, he’s excited to bring a fast-growing sport to the city of Seattle.

      “The fans in Seattle have absolutely blown us away over the last several months. We’re overjoyed that we can showcase the next phase of ultimate in their city, and we’re looking forward to bringing home the MLU’s first championship trophy later this summer.”

      The regular season schedule runs from April 20 through June 22. Games are played at Chief Sealth Stadium (SWAC) near West Seattle, and tickets are available for $16. Discounts are available for students and children.

      This is a moment of contemplation with sacred music in a sacred place, a chance to connect with the divine. All you are asked to do is come, and be, all are welcome, and all are loved. People can expect, low lights, candles, incense, and 20 minutes of contemplative music as they sit silently, and experience the divine as they know God to be.

For this show, general admission tickets (no table seats) are $18, and $16 for seniors and students.

Over the month of May, we saw many of you at Gathering of Neighbors, West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, “We Heart Co-ops!” Seattle Greendrinks celebration with SLICE and YES magazine, and the West Seattle Bee Festival and Parade.

      We have a lot of fun ahead of us this summer as we attend community events, visit with our neighbors, and continue to promote our healthy food co-op. We have an incredible group of generous volunteers and invite more of you to join us to see how you can help.

      We thank those of you who have already pledged their donations towards a co-op membership. We encourage you to make your commitment to be a founding member of this unique and valuable asset to our community. Currently, donations and pledges towards co-op member/owner shares can be made by cash, check, or credit/debit cards at our public meetings and the Delridge Grocery booth at many upcoming community events. We will provide other opportunities, as well as an online option, soon. Stay tuned or contact us at delridgegrocery@gmail.com for specific information or to invite us to your community gathering. Please look for us on Facebook and like our page: Delridge Grocery.

      We can’t do this without YOU!

      11:00 am – 11:00 am

      Job search help and networking opportunity. From the original announcement:

      Notes From the Job Search” is about helping people find new jobs. In the years we’ve been meeting at C&P Coffee we have laughed a great deal, we have met some really amazing people and a lot of them have found new jobs. The way we work is to break down job search into its component parts, study each of those and figure out how to use these parts in ways that give us the best chance of identifying and then getting a job where we will consistently exceed expectations. We start with our skills and strengths, then how to capture that in a resume. A resume that can be tuned to each specific job we apply to. We learn how new tools like Linkedin can be used as tools for helping our friends and allowing them to help us. Then we try to put this all together and into a campaign for a great job. If you are looking for a new job, we would love to see you at C&P Coffee, Tuesdays at 11 am.

We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

      Fully backlined open mic at Skylark starts at 9pm, ages 21+. Our Open Mic rules! There is no host to hog the spotlight, just a friendly sound engineer. You do a quick line check, introduce yourself to the audience, and get right to performing your 15-minute set (three songs is a good estimate since that includes set up and break down time).

      Sign-up sheet goes out every Wednesday at 8:00pm sharp (trivia will still be in progress so don’t be alarmed). You must be present in person to sign up for an open mic slot. The only exception is bands on tour who have made arrangements in advance for a particular time.

      We are set up for full bands of any genre, singer/songwriters, and pretty much anything else unplugged or plugged. Our backline is one bass amp, two guitar amps, one full drum set, and multiple mics/micstands and music stands. Additional details here.

    11. Open House: 2013 Port Emissions Reduction Strategy Update @ Youngstown Cultural Arts Center
      6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

      Northwest Ports Reduce Diesel Emissions, Set Further Goals for 2020. 2013 Strategy Update outlines ways to further reduce port-related air emissions

      The Port of Seattle, Port of Tacoma and Port Metro Vancouver, Canada, are setting draft goals to reduce diesel emissions by 75 percent per ton of cargo by 2015 and 80 percent by 2020. Combined with projected cargo growth, this will result in overall reductions of 70 percent by 2015 and 75 percent by 2020.

      The goals are part of the draft 2013 Update of the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy released today. The Ports will accept public comments on the draft strategy through July 26, through open houses, in-person, mail, or online.

      The Port of Seattle is hosting an open house event Thursday, June 27, 6:00 to 7:30 pm at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center, Delridge neighborhood, West Seattle, 4408 Delridge Way SW. More information is available at: http://www.portseattle.org/Newsroom/Events/Pages/default.aspx

      “The good news is that emissions are down and in this Strategy Update we are setting more aggressive goals for the near future,” said Stephanie Jones Stebbins, Director of Environmental and Planning at the Port of Seattle. “The draft Strategy Update includes both aggressive reduction goals and sector-specific actions to meet those goals.”

      The 2013 Update was developed based on the results of the 2011 Puget Sound Maritime Air Emissions Inventory released last October. The inventory found maritime-related air pollution has decreased since 2005, with much of the progress due to significant, voluntary investments of the maritime industry and government agencies in cleaner technology, cleaner fuels and more efficient systems of operation.

      “To thrive and prosper, we need healthy air to breathe as well as economic opportunity,” said Andrew Green, Air Quality Programs Director with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency. “We support our ports’ commitments to cut
      diesel exhaust and greenhouse gas pollution. Achieving the Strategy Update’s goals will ensure our region remains a healthy thriving place to live, breathe and do business.”

      To develop and implement the 2007 Strategy and this 2013 Strategy Update, the three ports partnered with other government agencies responsible for protecting air quality in the airshed: Environment Canada and Metro Vancouver in Canada along with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington State Department of Ecology and Puget Sound Clean Air Agency in the U.S. The airshed centers on the marine area known as the Salish Sea and includes the Strait of Juan de Fuca, greater Puget Sound area, Strait of Georgia, Haro Strait, Boundary Pass, Rosario Strait and other nearby waterways.

      “Air quality affects our entire region, and we pride ourselves on working collaboratively with a range of partners—from other ports and air agencies to our customers and vendors—to improve the environment and protect human health while providing a healthy supply chain,” said Jason Jordan, Director of Environmental Programs at the Port of Tacoma. “The cooperative effort that launched the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy several years ago remains intact and strong today.”

      Ports are a critical part of the Pacific Northwest and North American economy, facilitating the movement of people and goods and supporting living-wage jobs. With their tenants and customers, the three ports use
      diesel-powered ships, trains, trucks and other equipment to move goods and passengers through the ports to other destinations. The Strategy creates an integrated approach to improve air quality and reduce port-related
      emissions in the shared airshed to safeguard public health and the environment while supporting economic growth.

      The public is invited to comment on the draft 2013 Update from June 11 to July 26. Comments will be accepted at open houses hosted by the ports of Seattle and Tacoma in June and July.

      The Port of Seattle is providing two open house events, Wednesday, June 26, 1:00 to 2:30 pm at Port of Seattle Commission Chambers, Pier 69, 2711 Alaskan Way, and Thursday, June 27, 6:00 to 7:30 pm at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center, Delridge neighborhood, West Seattle, 4408 Delridge Way SW. More information is available at:
      http://www.portseattle.org/Newsroom/Events/Pages/default.aspx

      Comments can also be submitted by email at: cleanair@portseattle.org or in writing at P.O. Box 1209, Seattle WA 98111. The draft plan can be viewed at:

      The class, as always, is open to anyone curious about the marvelous art of Tai Chi. All we ask is that you dress for the weather and bring friends. The main focus of the class is in teaching people what they can do to improve the basic quality of daily life, i.e. smoother, deeper breathing, a more stable sense of balance, how to let stress pass by us rather than trapping it in our bodies, etc. We will be out in the fresh air, having a grand time and maybe even learning something before we’re done.

      When: We begin class at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday April 6th, 2013 and continue until September 28th, 2013

      Where: We meet just West of the Statue of Liberty, but will move the class up or down the beach to accommodate the many festivals that occur during Summer.

    10. The ‘Hood Hunt: West Seattle @ Junction Plaza Park
      12:00 pm – 2:30 pm

      WHAT: The ‘Hood Hunts are a series of FREE map-based scavenger hunts, held in various neighborhoods in the Seattle area. This is a community-inspired, grassroots effort, where the participants take turns “hosting” each hunt, so we try to keep these as simple as possible, for both participants and our volunteer hosts. The 27th ‘Hood Hunt is coming to West Seattle!

      Here’s how it works: Show up at the suggested meeting time and location, and bring a copy of the map & questions (provided on the website). Each neighborhood map covers about a half to a full square mile and contains twenty checkpoints. Find as many checkpoints as you wish, and return to the finish. Afterward, we’ll find a place to hang out and share our routes, stories, and votes for our favorite checkpoint locations.

      You can go solo, or with a team of friends and family. You can go by foot, bike, scooter, whatever! (Most people go by foot).

      WHEN: Saturday, June 29th, 12:00 pm
      12:00 pm Gather at start and meet some people!
      12:15 pm Start! (running early? running late? no worries, do what you can and meet us later)
      2:00 pm Meet at social and share your stories! (this is a suggested time, as there’s no official time limit)

      If you’re running late, or have to leave early, no worries. You can participate whenever you can, once the maps are available, generally two or three days before the event. You can even participate long after the event, since we’ll keep past event maps on this website.

      WHERE:
      Start: Junction Plaza Park (SW Alaska St & 42nd Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116)
      Social: Elliott Bay Brewing Co. (4720 California Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116) This is within a block of the start!

      WHO: Anyone and everyone, invite your friends!

      ———-

      Three Different Ways To Play. Pick One!

      1) Print on Paper. When the Map & Questions become available (by June 27th), download a copy of the map and questions from the website, print them, and bring with you to the event. Since this is a free event, it’s PYOM (print-your-own-map!)

      2) View on Smartphone. When the Map & Questions become available (by June 27th), download or open the map & question files to view on any smartphone while you explore.

      3) View on GPS-enabled iPhone. If you have an Apple device with a GPS (iPhone and certain iPads), and you have the Maplets app ($2.99), you can download a geo-referenced ‘Hood Hunt map to your device and you’ll see your exact position indicated within the official ‘Hood Hunt map!

      Welcome to the future! When the Map & Questions become available (by June 27th), you can either search for the map & questions file within the app, or click on this link (once available) on your mobile device and download from there.

      ———-

      ‘Hood Hunts are:
      Simple (no fees, no registration, no official results, no complaints)
      Social (we’ll hang out and go somewhere afterward)
      Shareable (share the maps and invite your friends)
      Small (in size, easy to organize)
      Safe (busy roads are used as boundaries)

      Robert Schryvers C.Ht, Clinical Hypnotherapist in Seattle, is offering a talk on hypnotherapy for Cannabis abstention.

      It’s not you, it’s me – Is it time to break up with Cannabis?

      This free talk about cannabis and hypnosis is not about promoting the myriad of benefits of cannabis, or alarming people about its downsides, nor is this about moralizing about its legal status.

      Also note that this talk is expressly not about cannabis addiction – This is about your relationship to pot, your habits, personal rituals and unconscious drives

      This free presentation is open to the public, and is not affiliated with West Seattle Library.

      Sunday, June 30th 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm

      St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church is presenting “Sacred Ground” Sundays, 7:30 pm–7:50 pm, beginning Sunday, February 10th.

      We want to extend an invitation to the community about a new, very brief, very worshipful service beginning at St. John’s on Sunday Evening February 10 at 7:30 pm.

      This is a moment of contemplation with sacred music in a sacred place, a chance to connect with the divine. All you are asked to do is come, and be, all are welcome, and all are loved. People can expect, low lights, candles, incense, and 20 minutes of contemplative music as they sit silently, and experience the divine as they know God to be.

      11:00 am – 11:00 am

      Job search help and networking opportunity. From the original announcement:

      Notes From the Job Search” is about helping people find new jobs. In the years we’ve been meeting at C&P Coffee we have laughed a great deal, we have met some really amazing people and a lot of them have found new jobs. The way we work is to break down job search into its component parts, study each of those and figure out how to use these parts in ways that give us the best chance of identifying and then getting a job where we will consistently exceed expectations. We start with our skills and strengths, then how to capture that in a resume. A resume that can be tuned to each specific job we apply to. We learn how new tools like Linkedin can be used as tools for helping our friends and allowing them to help us. Then we try to put this all together and into a campaign for a great job. If you are looking for a new job, we would love to see you at C&P Coffee, Tuesdays at 11 am.

      The Westwood-Roxhill-Arbor Heights (WWRHAH) Community Council meets the first Tuesday of every month:

      WWRHAH Community Council hosts King County Metro
      Tuesday, June 4th, 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM
      Chief Sealth International High School Library
      2600 SW Thistle St Seattle, WA 98126

      On Tuesday, June 4th, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM, King County Metro will be at Chief Sealth High School in West Seattle to speak to residents of Arbor Heights, Roxhill, and Westwood about upcoming and previous cuts to their service areas and bus routes.

      This will take the place of our regular monthly Westwood/Roxhill/Arbor Heights (WWRHAH) Community Council meeting. Please take the time to attend this very important community discussion, as it affects and impacts every single one of us that lives in these neighborhoods. People from all neighborhoods are welcome to attend.

      Why you should be aware of what is happening, in addition:

      If you are a bus commuter, you may see longer delays between bus service or your bus stop may be removed. Your bus route itself may be removed.
      If you are a car commuter, the traffic for your drive and travel time WILL increase if the buses are cut. Nearly all West Seattle bus commuters own cars–we’ll be forced back into those cars.
      If you commute toward the direction of downtown, the West Seattle Bridge and 1st Avenue South Bridge will become choke points.
      Combine this bus route cutting with the SR-99 Viaduct going away soon for our new Deep Bore Tunnel, and it will get ugly trying to drive out of West Seattle.

      Here are the proposed bus service reductions from a graphic that King County Metro created. Red lines will be cut. Blue lines will be reduced service.

      Please come to this important meeting and discussion.

We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

      9:00 pm – 9:00 pm

      Fully backlined open mic at Skylark starts at 9pm, ages 21+. Our Open Mic rules! There is no host to hog the spotlight, just a friendly sound engineer. You do a quick line check, introduce yourself to the audience, and get right to performing your 15-minute set (three songs is a good estimate since that includes set up and break down time).

      Sign-up sheet goes out every Wednesday at 8:00pm sharp (trivia will still be in progress so don’t be alarmed). You must be present in person to sign up for an open mic slot. The only exception is bands on tour who have made arrangements in advance for a particular time.

      We are set up for full bands of any genre, singer/songwriters, and pretty much anything else unplugged or plugged. Our backline is one bass amp, two guitar amps, one full drum set, and multiple mics/micstands and music stands. Additional details here.

      In the broadest sense, a Fixers’ Collective is a group of folks who love to fix and mend things, which could be any old thing from broken blenders to ripped sweaters to antique dentist drills. Take it apart, put it back together, figure out how it works, refuse to throw it away, and get to know others who do the same! What the collective works on depends entirely on who shows up but you can be rest assured that there will be plenty of creativity involved. Adding to this fun, The Tool Library also brings together some experienced DIY coaches who are willing to answer any questions that you may have on your current projects, future plans, or anything else you liked to discuss. Our coaches have expertise in a variety of areas, including solar power, water harvesting, green architecture & building, permaculture, and urban gardening.

      These open and informal community meetups offer an opportunity to bounce project ideas off fellow DIYers and maybe receive some advice in the process, if you like. It’s also a great time to show off what you’ve been working on.From small little blenders to entire home renovations, these meetups offer you a chance to explore all of sorts of DIY fixes!

      The class, as always, is open to anyone curious about the marvelous art of Tai Chi. All we ask is that you dress for the weather and bring friends. The main focus of the class is in teaching people what they can do to improve the basic quality of daily life, i.e. smoother, deeper breathing, a more stable sense of balance, how to let stress pass by us rather than trapping it in our bodies, etc. We will be out in the fresh air, having a grand time and maybe even learning something before we’re done.

      When: We begin class at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday April 6th, 2013 and continue until September 28th, 2013

      Where: We meet just West of the Statue of Liberty, but will move the class up or down the beach to accommodate the many festivals that occur during Summer.

      This is a moment of contemplation with sacred music in a sacred place, a chance to connect with the divine. All you are asked to do is come, and be, all are welcome, and all are loved. People can expect, low lights, candles, incense, and 20 minutes of contemplative music as they sit silently, and experience the divine as they know God to be.

      On July 8th, 2013 TomboyX will be hosting a launch party for the much anticipated TomboyX Collection and online boutique reveal. The collection of original TomboyX designs were made locally here in Seattle. Please join the TomboyX Team welcome the release of their much anticipated new line of polos, blazers, T-shirts, and more.

      WHERE: Marination on Alki (WSB sponsor), 1660 Harbor Ave SW, Seattle WA, 98126

      Join the design team for an exclusive first view of the collection–made right here in Seattle–and full preview of the online boutique. There will be a no host bar, appetizers by Marination, and TomboyX Brand Ambassador Catie Curtis will perform.

      RSVP: Email name and number of guests to info@tomboyexchange.com .

      Since the success of TomboyX’s Kickstarter campaign in February, the team has been in full force to bring women a clothing line tailored to the tomboy spirit. Dedicated to keeping their business local, TBx has their clothing is made in the USA– the first line being crafted right here in Seattle by local seamstresses, factories and manufacturers. The women behind the new innovative brand have been traveling the country making sure they offer only the best in handmade accessories, specially crafted shoes, versatile handbags, and more. Some curated items are international– like a silk scarf handcrafted in Napoli, Italy.

      TomboyX made the curated store available in May, but the TomboyX collection has yet to be made available through their online boutique at tomboyexchange.com. The consumer response has been remarkable– selling out of handbags and other accessories.

      It’s been a fashion whirlwind for the TomboyX Team, and they ready to launch and make their preliminary collection available for purchase.

      Job search help and networking opportunity. From the original announcement:

      Notes From the Job Search” is about helping people find new jobs. In the years we’ve been meeting at C&P Coffee we have laughed a great deal, we have met some really amazing people and a lot of them have found new jobs. The way we work is to break down job search into its component parts, study each of those and figure out how to use these parts in ways that give us the best chance of identifying and then getting a job where we will consistently exceed expectations. We start with our skills and strengths, then how to capture that in a resume. A resume that can be tuned to each specific job we apply to. We learn how new tools like Linkedin can be used as tools for helping our friends and allowing them to help us. Then we try to put this all together and into a campaign for a great job. If you are looking for a new job, we would love to see you at C&P Coffee, Tuesdays at 11 am.

    8. (Rescheduled) Highland Park Action Committee meeting @ Highland Park Improvement Club
      6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

      Our regularly scheduled HPAC meeting will not be happening in June, because SDOT will be hosting a Neighborhood Greenway Meeting instead that we encourage everyone to come to. If you are at all interested in having a Greenway come through Highland Park, and would like a say in which street the route is on- now’s your chance, please join us.

      It will be on TUESDAY, JULY 9th, from 6-7:30 pm at Highland Park Improvement Club on 12th and Holden./(please note, this is not our normal HPAC meeting day or time, so mark your calendars!)

      *What’s a Greenway?* Neighborhood Greenways are residential streets where signs and pavement markings are used to guide people along the route; and speed and volume management measures discourage cars from avoiding main streets by cutting through on neighborhood streets. These amenities can be especially beneficial for families, children and seniors who might find these routes more comfortable than busier nearby streets. Find out more about them here.

      See you then!


      Highland Park Action Committee
      We meet the 4th Wednesday of the month at HPIC on 12th and Holden, 6:30 pm Potluck, 7:00 pm meeting.

We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

      Fully backlined open mic at Skylark starts at 9pm, ages 21+. Our Open Mic rules! There is no host to hog the spotlight, just a friendly sound engineer. You do a quick line check, introduce yourself to the audience, and get right to performing your 15-minute set (three songs is a good estimate since that includes set up and break down time).

      Sign-up sheet goes out every Wednesday at 8:00pm sharp (trivia will still be in progress so don’t be alarmed). You must be present in person to sign up for an open mic slot. The only exception is bands on tour who have made arrangements in advance for a particular time.

      We are set up for full bands of any genre, singer/songwriters, and pretty much anything else unplugged or plugged. Our backline is one bass amp, two guitar amps, one full drum set, and multiple mics/micstands and music stands. Additional details here.

      9:00 am – 9:00 am

      The class, as always, is open to anyone curious about the marvelous art of Tai Chi. All we ask is that you dress for the weather and bring friends. The main focus of the class is in teaching people what they can do to improve the basic quality of daily life, i.e. smoother, deeper breathing, a more stable sense of balance, how to let stress pass by us rather than trapping it in our bodies, etc. We will be out in the fresh air, having a grand time and maybe even learning something before we’re done.

      When: We begin class at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday April 6th, 2013 and continue until September 28th, 2013

      Where: We meet just West of the Statue of Liberty, but will move the class up or down the beach to accommodate the many festivals that occur during Summer.
