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.

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.

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.”

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.

Alki Elementary School Centennial Celebration6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Thursday, March 28, 2013, 6:00 pm–8:00 pm at Alki Elementary:
Calling everyone who has ever attended Alki Elementary School: Mark your calendars to come celebrate the school’s 100th birthday on March 28.
The Alki PTA and the Southwest Seattle Historical Society, co-sponsors of the celebration, are planning a slate of activities to engage students and community members of all ages.
“This will be an exciting event, with activities for the youngest of today’s Alki students, for those who attended Alki many decades ago and for everyone in between,” says Amy Bannister, who chairs the event for Alki PTA.
The party will kick off with a group photo to be taken at 5 pm outside the school. The photo will be made available widely online in the days following the event.
“It may take a few minutes to arrange everyone for the photo,” says Alan Peterson, board member at the Southwest Seattle Historical Society, “so we urge anyone who wants to be a part of this landmark image to arrive at 5 p.m. sharp.”
Once the photo is taken (as well as separate photos by decade), the celebration moves indoors and starts at 6 p.m. It will include a program with several speakers, a wide-ranging audio-visual show of images from the school’s history, activities for children and an area where attendees can display (and donate) school-related artifacts and have their Alki-related stories captured on video.
Of course, the event will feature party-style refreshments, including a sheet cake or two denoting the centennial.
Everyone attending the event will receive a memento of the occasion.
For more information on the Alki Elementary School Centennial Celebration, see the Facebook event page and the website of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society.

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.

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.”

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!

Mighty Wurlitzer spectacular – plus Chaplin silent film @ Kenyon Hall7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
This Friday and Saturday, April 5 and 6, at 7:30, Kenyon Hall present famed theater organist Dennis James and Belle of the Hall Connie Corrick, in a show featuring our Mighty Wurlitzer Theater Organ. Their program includes rarely-heard Victorian ditties, including The Volunteer Organist, and features a wonderful 1923 Charlie Chaplin silent comedy, The Pilgrim.
Dennis spends the majority of his time traveling the world performing in solo organ, glass armonica, and piano concerts; for silent movies; and with major symphony orchestras. He gained fame in Seattle as the originator of Silent Movie Mondays at the Paramount Theater. Dennis meticulously works out his accompaniments to silent films, choosing music from the era, and illuminating the action as only he can. To experience the intimacy of his performing on our instrument, lovingly and expertly curated by Bob White, is a rare treat.
Connie Corrick has been brightening our stage for over twenty years. She combines a shimmering soprano voice with consummate acting ability, and she’ll put both to good use this weekend in this unique and entertaining family-friendly show.
Reserved table seats are $14. Row seating is $12 general and $10 seniors. With a reservation, row seating is only $10 general and $8 seniors. Elementary, middle, and high school students are $5. Pre-school children are free.
To make a reservation, please e-mail kenyonhall@earthlink.net. You’ll receive an e-mail confirming your reservation.

Camp Long Challenge Course Grand Opening / Open House1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Camp Long and the Washington State University Extension-4H invite the public to the grand opening of the Camp Long Challenge Course from 1 to 5 pm on Saturday, April 6th! The ribbon cutting takes place at 3 pm at the East Shelter and there will be refreshments at 3:30 pm. Camp Long is located at 5200 35th Ave. SW. For more information, please call 206-684-7434.
More details:
The installation and programming of the challenge course is a collaboration by Camp Long Advisory Council, an affiliate of the Associated Recreation Council, WSU Extension-4H, and Seattle Parks and Recreation with the support of a Department of Neighborhoods Large Project funding award and a King County Parks Youth Sports Facility Grant.
A Hub and Spoke High Challenge Course called “The Enchantments” (park elements at Camp Long are traditionally named after topographical phenomena in Washington state) has been added to the Low Challenge course. Construction was completed in October 2012; since then staff have undergone training for facilitation, tested systems and purchased
equipment to start offering programs this spring.“The challenge course at camp long has already impacted youth through its youth leadership program,” said Camp Long Advisory Council member David Kipano. “This program funded through the Department of Neighborhoods provides internships to train over 30 youth to be facilitators on the course and in their community.”
Open House Activities
“The Enchantments”: Opportunities to try out the Hub and Spoke Course will be $20 per person, limited to 24 people. Register at the front desk the day of the opening.

3:30–5 pm
8 peopleLow Course Elements: “Orca Breach,” “Pacific Crest,” “Salmon Crossing” and other elements will be available to try as groups gather. Check in at the East Shelter.
About High Challenge: The “Hub and Spoke” challenge consists of high platforms, interconnected activities, routes on slim beams, wobbly steps and swings and ropes to clutch onto or walk upon. High course elements have traditionally been used as a tool to challenge individuals physically and mentally and to strengthen relationships and build team cohesion. The High Challenge Course is designed to develop self-esteem, confidence, positive risk-taking and self awareness, and to help people confront fears and exceed self-imposed limitations.
Scott VanderWey, WSU 4-H Adventure Education Director, said the activities will help increase teens’ self-confidence and positive risk taking. “Having a high ropes course provides the opportunity for students to have a peak experience which can manifest itself into more positive behavior,” he said. The research-based approach known as Social Emotional Learning has proven to increase student motivation, student attendance, mastery of subject material, and a more positive school climate.
4H Challenge Benefits:
4H Challenge Courses provide a structured, consistent, and ongoing curriculum which allows cohorts of youth or community members to progress through a series of tiered learning activities that enhances other programs such as youth leadership, family wellness, community organization and development, health education, peer and adult
mentoring, drug prevention, adjudicated rehabilitation and job development skills.4-H Challenge programs change the way participants interact with their group, build healthy relationships and develop the critical life skills necessary for a successful life. The underlying psychological and educational assumption behind challenge courses is that if a person is supported to move out of his/her comfort zone, and has a successful experience, then powerful conditions exist for positive change. Groups who engage in a long-term relationship with 4-H Challenge can expect to see a measurable increase in participant commitment to the group and a decrease in negative and non-participatory behavior. The positive benefits are of special importance for youth to become successful and productive adults.

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.

Baby Ketten Karaoke starts at 9 pm at Skylark Café & Club. Details on Baby Ketten and songlists here.
“I know, I know, karaoke is supposed to kinda suck. It is traditionally composed of bad sound, limited song choices, and frat boy margaritaville sing-alongs. 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.”

Emergency Preparedness Faith-based Forum @ Delridge Community Center8:30 am – 11:30 am
Wednesday, April 10th from 8:30 am-11:30 am at Delridge Community Center.
The City of Seattle, Seattle-King County Public Health, and the American Red Cross of King & Kitsap County are pleased to invite you to attend the Faith-Based Forums! These forums have been organized to create an opportunity for leaders/representatives of Faith-Based Organizations (FBO’s) to come together with local government, service providers and emergency management to talk about being ready for a disaster in a community fellowship environment.
(Free forum – please RSVP here.)
Event details:
In any large scale emergency, faith-based organizations are often looked to by the community as trusted information resources as well as a means to obtain support. It benefits all of us to have these conversations before a disaster event and to have established relationships for when an emergency happens.The forums will be in a conversation cafe style format (small groups with less formal dialog). The objectives will be to talk about what we can all do in the event of an emergency, promote relationship building, and to encourage participants to form lasting partnerships in order to strengthen their communities. The following is a list of questions that will be discussed:
~ What role do you feel faith based organizations should play in the aftermath of a major disaster?
~ If a disaster occurred tomorrow, what would your congregation need? What would they expect you to provide for them? Can your organization meet the expectations of your congregation and your neighborhood?
~ What would you require to be confident that you could meet the needs or your congregation?
~ Would you like to continue engaging with the city and partners here and if so how?Highlights of the forums will be:
Inspiring presentations
Engaging conversations and information sharing
Display of available community resources
Disaster product vendors on site
Disaster related giveaways
Food and beverages provided
And…it’s all FREE!Please join us for conversation, collaboration and community building!
If you or someone you needs any accomodations or interpretation to attend, please e-mail tracy.connelly@seattle.gov.

Our goal is to form a working team of 10-12 individuals who can commit to six formal meetings over the course of April and May and two additional future meetings. Our goal is to have the recommendations complete before June 2013 so that architects can be ready to move to the next phase soon thereafter.

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.

Community Conversation: Arbor Heights Elementary School Design @ Arbor Heights Elementary School6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
The BEX IV Building Levy that was passed by the voters in February 2013 is expected to fund the building of a new elementary school on the site of Arbor Heights Elementary School, with the expectation that this new building will open for the 2016-17 school year. The opportunity falls to us to envision what the new school will be. You are invited to meet with the Design Advisory Team that will work with the architects to craft the concepts and specifications that the architectural team will use in designing the new building.
The Design Advisory Team will be composed of current Arbor Heights’ staff and families as well as neighborhood residents. Our goal is to have the recommendations complete before June 2013 so that architects can be ready to move to the next phase soon thereafter.
The following dates have been scheduled for the Design Advisory Team workshops. Team members must commit to attending all of the following workshops.

Emma’s Revolution performs @ Kenyon Hall7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

From the Iowa City Press-Citizen: “Their music is progressive, socially-conscious, confrontational, and shot-through with intelligence and cutting humor; their songs have been sung for the Dalai Lama and covered by Holly Near, and they count Pete Seeger among their admirers. Their newest disc, Revolutions Per Minute, is a front-to-back gem.” For more information, please visit emmasrevolution.com.
Reserved table seats are $14. Row seating is $12 general and $10 seniors. With a reservation, row seating is only $10 general and $8 seniors. Elementary, middle, and high school students are $5. Pre-school children are free.

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.
