Another addition to Tuesday’s Statue of Liberty homecoming

bigband.jpgJim Edwards from the West Seattle Big Band says the WSBB has been asked to play at the Alki Statue of Liberty homecoming event Tuesday night. We last saw (and heard) them here in WS two months ago at the Hi-Yu Concert in the Park, where they shared a bill with Hizzoner, as will be the case on 9/11 at Alki. Jim says the band will start playing @ 5:30; the rest of the event kicks off @ 6.

    Have just talked with Pamela Green, Director of Community Outreach, Mayor’s Office re: details of our great event on Tuesday, Sept. 11th, for rededication of the newly recast statue to her home of 55 years on Alki.
    Here’s some of the happenings:
    . West Seattle Big Band starts playing at 5:30pm
    . During the playing of the ‘National Anthem’ a Honor Guard of
    2 Seattle Police Dept. officers
    2 Fire Department officers will present ‘colors’
    . Mayor Nickels
    . Tom Rasmussen, City Councilman
    . Unveiling of statue
    . Fireboat Leschi with water display
    . Boy Scout Area Director will be rounding up some local Boy Scout Troops to be in attendance.
    . Plus various Parks Dept., city/county officials and just plain folks.

    Hope you all can come and join us. It’s a happy occasion.

    Also, please attend the Thursday, Sept. 13th meeting at the Bathhouse, 7pm. As far as I know, the agenda will be
    . Holly Santos from Northwest Programs for the Arts with details on moneys raised/spent/remaining.
    • Past history of statue and it’s sentimental value to the community/city.
    It’s an important meeting
    • Future plans for the new plaza
    It’s an important meeting and a chance to make your voice heard.

    Thanks to you all for your support and help in getting Miss Liberty back home.
