Between the winter chill (OK, not that much chill this year) and the summer sun, it’s the perfect season to gather to do good. Some reminders about events coming up in the next few weeks:

FAUNTLEROY CHILDREN’S CENTER DINNER/AUCTION TOMORROW: FCC has even more than usual to celebrate this time around, since the Fauntleroy Schoolhouse purchase closed just a week ago (as reported here), with the center as a major tenant. We checked with director Kim Sheridan – she says they’ve still got a bit of room, so either call today or show up at the door tomorrow (The Hall at Fauntleroy, starting with the silent auction at 5:30); they’re maxed out of the chicken entree but the beef and portobello mushroom options are still available. Full details on this Facebook event page; call 206-932-9590 or e-mail fauntleroychildrenscenter@yahoo.com.

SEATTLE LUTHERAN DINNER/AUCTION NEXT FRIDAY: Head of School Adair Hinds is promising a big announcement during this year’s “Global Connection” event – the official RSVP form deadline just passed, and there’s no school today, but if you’re already good to go, the dinner’s March 12 at SSCC’s Brockey Center.

NATURE CONSORTIUM BENEFIT BRUNCH: Lisa at the NC says just a few spots remain for the 2nd annual brunch on behalf of the organization that’s devoted to forest restoration here in West Seattle. There’s no ticket charge but you’ll be asked to consider making a donation. Noon Sunday, March 14, The Hall at Fauntleroy. RSVP: lisa@naturec.org or 206-923-0853. (WSB is among the event sponsors.)

WEST SEATTLE HI-YU SPRING TEA: Hi-Yu’s Deena Mahn says a few tickets are left for the Spring Tea and Silent Auction at 2 pm March 21, also at The Hall at Fauntleroy. It’s a fundraiser for the Miss Hi-Yu Scholarship Program and for the Hi-Yu float, the last Seattle neighborhood festival-powered float on the regional parade circuit. Call 206-937-0263 or e-mail wshiyu@yahoo.com.

BOWL TO “STRIKE OUT HUNGER”: Solid Ground benefits from this bowl-a-thon at West Seattle Bowl on March 27; you can sign up to bowl at 2 or at 4:30. Full details here.

UPDATE ON THE WONG FAMILY FUNDRAISER: We published info yesterday about this April 11 event to help Jade West Café proprietor Wah Wong and family recover from the December crash that seriously hurt Wah and son Jason Wong – and have since received an updated flyer with new information on what’s happening at the lunch/auction — see it here. (And note that organizers would love to have more silent auction items – local businesses that can help out are encouraged to call the numbers on the flyer!)

Lots more in the hopper for many great West Seattle organizations – this is just a sampling of reminders about what’s ahead in the next month or so. Other events are on the WSB Events calendar (and if you don’t see yours, but would like more people to know, please send us the announcement – here’s how).
