West Seattle Friday: From bake sale to ‘Hypnosteria,’ & much more

Those are before and after photos from Day 1 of Community School of West Seattle‘s bake sale to raise money for Japan relief – Day 2 is today. Director Sarah Airhart reports:

The Community School of West Seattle has been busy baking for the last 2 days for their bake sale and (Thursday) they raised $570 in ONE HOUR of selling. All funds will be donated to the Red Cross to aid the Japan relief efforts on behalf of a former preschool teacher from Japan, Mayuko. The bake sale will be refreshed (today) with more goodies so please stop by from 12 to 1pm.

CSWS is at 9450 22nd SW (here’s a map). Speaking of goodies:

CHACO CANYON CAFE OPENING DAY: When you check out Chaco Canyon Café at Link (WSB sponsor), 38th/Alaska – which opens at 7 am today – take a look over the door to the “community room” on the restaurant’s north side.

If you want to say you were there on Day 1, they’re open till 9 pm.

    A very generous donor stepped up to match everything we made today-which was $503 so our grand total is $1586 going to the Red Cross. Children often feel so powerless in these events-they hear about it but have no way to comprehend what has happened-this gave us all a way to feel like there was something good we could do even just for a moment-we could help. Thank you to everyone who supported this wonderful event.

Sorry, comment time is over.
