Notes from the Job Search, West Seattle group @ C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor)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.

Lance David Memorial Ride @ Seacrest Park5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
From West Seattle Bike Connections:
On Wednesday, May 1st, the first hours of Bike to Work Month witnessed tragedy. Lance David, a 54 year old cyclist, friend, father, and husband, was killed in a collision with a truck on East Marginal Way.
Please join us and Seattle Greenways for a short memorial bike ride starting on Tuesday, May 7th at 5:30 pm, where we’ll have a chance to gather as a community in memory of Lance and all the others who have tragically lost their lives on the streets of our city.
Where: Meet at the Seacrest Park (1660 Harbor Ave SW)
When: Tuesday, May 7th, 5:30 PM
Why: Along with Seattle Greenways, we want to ensure our community supports safe, healthy, livable streets. This segment of the daily commute for many people going to and from West Seattle by bike can be hazardous. We want to learn from this tragedy and make the commute better for West Seattle, and make streets safer all over Seattle. We want streets that allow predictable safe behavior and allow us to look out for each other.
Route: The ride will be a relaxed, flat 3.2 miles, entirely on separated bike paths (the Alki bike path and West Seattle Bridge path) from the meeting location to the site of Wednesday’s crash.

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.”

Trivia night @ Talarico's Pizzeria8:30 pm – 10:45 pm
From Phil Tavel, host of Talarico’s Wednesday Night Trivia events:
It’s every Wednesday night at 8:30 pm (going on five years now). It goes until a little after 10 pm. It’s $2 per person, and we have nomaximum or minimum team size. We usually get between 75 and 115 people. I give out cash prizes to the top 3 teams and bottles of champagne for the bottom three teams. Every season I have a special seasonal challenge that culminates in a $3 per person championship night. The Winter Challenge for 2013 starts next week.

Open Mic Night @ Skylark Café & Club9:00 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.

Brooke Shaden at Twilight Gallery & Boutique for West Seattle Art Walk @ Twilight Art Gallery and Boutique6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Twilight Gallery & Boutique is pleased to announce an exhibition of work by fine art photographer Brooke Shaden.
May 2-31, 2013
Brooke’s exhibit at Twilight will be available for viewing from May 2, 2013 through May 31, 2013. There will be an opening reception during the West Seattle Artwalk on Thursday, May 9th at 6pm.
Brooke Shaden is an LA-based photographer focused on surreal, conceptual portraiture. Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States and in Europe. She was recently featured at the Annenberg Space for Photography as part of their Digital Darkroom exhibition.
Brooke’s photography focuses on creating new worlds in which to lose yourself. This exhibit will feature images created in and around water. Her underwater photography is hauntingly beautiful, capturing both the fluidity and stillness of time.
Brooke has described her fascination with underwater photography: “To live under water is something that we cannot achieve, and to look at an image taken underwater is to live in that world for as long as you care to look.”
Brooke will be in Seattle teaching a 3 day workshop on Fine Art Portraiture with CreativeLive from May 16-18. For more information about CreativeLive, see
http://www.creativelive.com/courses/fine-art-portraits-brooke-shaden.About Brooke
Brooke Shaden was born in March of 1987 in Lancaster, PA, USA. She grew up near the “Amish Country” until attending Temple University. Brooke was photographically born in December 2008 after graduating from Temple with bachelor degrees in film and English. She now resides in Los Angeles, CA, USA with her husband and two cats.She began creating self-portraits for ease and to have full control over the images, and has since grown into a self-portrait artist. Self portraiture for her is not autobiographical in nature. Instead, she attempts to place herself within worlds she wishes we could live in, where secrets float out in the open, where the impossible becomes possible.
Brooke works to create new worlds within her photographic frame. By using painterly techniques as well as the square format, traditional photographic properties are replaced by otherworldly elements. Brooke’s photography questions the definition of what it means to be alive.
About Twilight
Twilight Gallery and Boutique is a Seattle, Washington art gallery and shop. Opened in 2005 and located in West Seattle’s walkable Junction neighborhood, Twilight features innovative work by talented artists from Seattle and beyond.

Wendy Eckert is an experienced, enthusiastic teacher who is thrilled to teach students in an elementary co-op environment. Wendy has taught toddler classes through the SSCC co-op for the past seven years and is a former cooperative preschool parent. She truly enjoys working with both students and their families and is excited about shaping our new program in West Seattle.Wendy taught kindergarten and first grade (both as multi-age and separate classes) for eight years. Her strengths include developing and implementing an emergent, experiential curriculum where the majority of learning happens through hands-on activities related to concepts or skills. Wendy believes that all children can and will learn in a fun classroom where the teacher strives to meet individual needs and differences. She creates a classroom rich with a variety of activities to meet and expand the needs of learners at all levels.
Wendy earned her degree in Elementary Education from the University of Puget Sound in 1989 and her Masters of Arts in Education (literacy emphasis) in 1996. Since then, she has continued her education to stay current and believes that teachers are always learning, too. Wendy relishes the opportunity to work, learn and grow together with students and families.

Tai Chi on the Beach at Alki9:00 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.

Imagery in sound for solo contemporary fingerstyle acoustic guitar. Multiple tunings, extended techniques, harmonic richness, fluid compositional style, and technical skill, combine to bring out the natural expressive resonance of the steel string acoustic guitar. From flowing, deep, liquid echoes to passages of precise blistering speed, this is instrumental music that leaves the listener open to form their own images to these varied textures and sounds. http://www.myspace.com/waynelovegrove

Notes from the Job Search, West Seattle group @ C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor)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.

A potential 17 percent reduction in Metro transit service due to a lack of sustainable revenue will be the topic of a special meeting of the Metropolitan King County Council’s Transportation, Economy and Environment Committee:
Tuesday, May 14
3:30 pm open house
4:00 pm public testimonyUnion Station
401 South Jackson Street, SeattleThe committee wants the public to have an opportunity to tell their leaders how transit service cuts will affect them. Absent action from the legislature, King County will begin seeking input this fall on how to cut 600,000 hours of transit service. The cuts are expected to begin in 2014. Metro recently released a preliminary look at what routes might be cut or reduced based on their service guideline policies.
A 17 percent reduction in transit service would result in fewer travel options, longer travel times and more crowded buses – impacts that could touch virtually all Metro riders
Based on its service guideline policies, Metro has identified 65 routes at risk for elimination and 86 routes at risk for service reductions without a sustainable source of funding. These reductions would be necessary
to offset a $75 million annual deficit due to the continued drop in sales tax revenues.Since 2009, when revenues declined sharply, Metro has been able to avoid these cuts through $798 million in efficiencies, staff reductions, fare increases, reserve spending, and additional revenue. The implementation of the Congestion Reduction Charge (CRC), a temporary charge on vehicle licenses for two years, helped Metro avoid deep transit service cuts in 2011. By law, the CRC must end in 2014 and without a new source of revenue, Metro must reduce service.

10th Anniversary Celebration Concert w/West Seattle Community Orchestras @ Chief Sealth International High School6:30 pm – 9:00 pm
West Seattle Community Orchestras (WSCO) Announces their 10th Anniversary Gala Celebration on May 14th:
Concert program will feature classical to contemporary works, including composers Beethoven, Berlioz, Schubert, Schifrin and more.
This year marks the 10th Anniversary for the West Seattle Community Orchestras (WSCO). They will hold a celebration concert on Tuesday May 14, 2013 at Chief Sealth International High School Auditorium.
For the first time all three orchestras will be performing in one program. In addition WSCO reveals a rare and special treat performed by cello players in all three orchestra groups. Guest conductor Rob Duisberg leads this wonderful Cello Choir, performing Also sprach Zarathustra, R. Strauss, arranged by Flaherty; and “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Gotye and Halsey.
Concert will begin at 6:30 pm. Admission is free and open to the public. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. All proceeds will benefit free membership for student musicians grades K-12.
The orchestra was founded by Dr. Toni Reineke ten years ago with just 16 student musicians to give them an opportunity to participate in a full symphony orchestra. Adult musicians were invited to mentor and then perform with the students. The popularity of the intergenerational setting has led the growth to orchestras at three levels, as well as the addition of adult beginners’ classes to accommodate all the interested musicians. Dr. Reineke, who now conducts the Intermediate Orchestra and leads the Adult Beginning Winds classes, expresses astonishment at the growth. “When we began ten years ago, we did not dream it would grow this large and successful.”
The West Seattle Community Orchestras (WSCO) is a unique intergenerational group of three orchestras including the Debut Orchestra for beginning players, an Intermediate Orchestra, and a Symphony for community members and more experienced students. In total 190 musicians take part in the making of music, 100 of them from third grade through high school.
Each week, professional coaching is provided for string students by Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestras through a generous grant from the Seattle Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs.

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.”

Antiques Discovery Day @ Providence Mount St. Vincent9:00 am – 2:00 pm
Local version of `Antiques Roadshow’ coming to West Seattle!
Providence Mount St. Vincent
The event, which will be held at Providence Mount St. Vincent’s Second floor Resident Lounge, 4831 35th Ave SW, in West Seattle, will also feature coffee, conversation and a Community Fair.
In the spirit of “Antiques Roadshow,” the popular PBS television program that features professional antique appraisers who reveal the history, lore and estimated current market value of privately owned treasures, the public is invited to bring old items such as paintings, rings, vases, powder jars, lamps, sconces, radios, etc. to be appraised.
Local appraisers will help determine the value of the family treasure you’ve always wondered about. These onsite experts will provide oral valuations of individual items for $5 per item (limit four items per person). All proceeds will benefit the residents and programs of “The Mount,” a senior living care facility that celebrates life, living and individual capability.
This team of knowledgeable and experienced appraisers are all donating their time and expertise for this event. Past events were highly successful and very popular. Because of this, participants will be helped on a first-come, first-served basis.
Guest appraisers include:
Pat Campbell, local expert and experienced appraiser
Kathleen Victor, ISA CAPP, International Society of Appraisers, Certified Appraiser of Personal Property, specializing in antiques and residential property
Don Jensen, ISA CAPP, Certified Appraiser of Personal Property, specializing in antiques; appraiser for “Antiques Roadshow”
“I love the excitement of discovery and placing a value for a client on a cherished piece of family history,” said appraiser Kathleen Victor.
While waiting to have items appraised, guests can also participate in a Community Fair, where they can speak to local experts about organizing personal items, real estate and “right-sizing,” estate sale preparation, retirement options and more. Attendees will also receive a complimentary copy of “Inspiring Conversations,” a booklet to help capture special memories with loved ones.
For more information, please contact Susan Clark at susan.p.clark@providence.org or 206-938-6191, or go online to www.providence.org/themount

Tai Chi on the Beach at Alki9:00 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.

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.

Notes from the Job Search, West Seattle group @ C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor)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.
