From pub to park: Camp Long Advisory Council says ‘thanks’

Before this season’s benefit beer Whale Tail Ale arrived, local venues raised money for nonprofits by selling its predecessor Löwman Bräu. At Beveridge Place Pub in Morgan Junction, the shared portion of the proceeds went to Camp Long – whose Advisory Council invites you to come help them thank the BPP crew next Thursday. CLAC’s Mat McBride sent the invite:

It’s been a good year for volunteering in Seattle. Good people rolling up their sleeves and putting shoulders to the wheel. But all that volunteerin’ is hard work, and the Camp Long Advisory Council is taking a break in December.

The Beveridge Place Pub made a generous donation from the proceeds of Lowman Brau to the park, and we’d like to say “Thanks!”. On Thursday, December 15th, the Advisory Council will present a limited edition screen print by local artist Damon Brown [right], and then stick around a while to raise a few pints. You should come and join us, it’s a great opportunity to support your local. It’s also an opportunity to learn more about Camp Long, about Environmental Learning Centers in Seattle, and about why we care so much about getting kids into authentic encounters with nature. We’ll be there from 7:00 – 9:00 PM.

Beveridge Place is at California SW and … of course … Beveridge Place. Camp Long sprawls across 68 acres of spectacular greenspace accessible at 5200 35th SW.

    Any idea if these prints will be available for purchase at Camp Long?

    Wow – any way to get ahold of that poster without paying fine art prices?

    I would like to know that as well – very nice poster. Wish there was a similar effort for all the big Seattle parks! I envision one for Lincoln with a big orca fin in the background.

    Via a google search for ‘camp long poster’:

    Camp Long is currently selling limited edition (250), 18 x 24 inch, silk screened posters for $55. The poster emulates the WPA era National Parks posters that were produced under the Roosevelt Administration. Proceeds go to the Camp Long Education Fund.
