INAUGURATION WEEK: ‘Positive Politics Potluck’ @ Community General Store

Continuing our look at events announced in West Seattle for Inauguration Week – we’ve also heard from the new Community General Store in Delridge, which has announced a “Positive Politics Potluck” for 6-9 pm Friday (January 20th):

Need somewhere positive and family-friendly to go next Friday evening? We understand. Please join us in the first of our monthly gatherings to share food and visions for a more beautiful world.

Diverse political perspectives are welcome; our common ground is an understanding that our strength as a community comes out of our diversity. Our conversation is not meant to uncover the way forward or convince anyone of our individual perspective. Rather, together we aim to illuminate the many possible ways forward, and strengthen and improve each path by sharing authentically and listening well.

We’ll meet on the third Friday of each month, so mark your calendars. Fun for little ones, conversation and support for grown ups, food for all!

**First-time visits to the CGS are free. Membership purchase available at the door. RSVP here!

The CGS is at 5214 Delridge Way SW, next to The Daily Dose.

A beautiful idea. Thank you, Community General Store. And another good idea if you’re upset about our next “president,” from the WSB Politics forum:

There’s a lot of talk about people NOT watching the inauguration. The Grabber will be checking his ratings, and many may not know the way that the tv shows are rated.
To keep his rating LOW, you must have your television turned ON, but NOT tuned into any channel showing ANY inauguration coverage. If you don’t turn your tv on, his ratings will show higher because of the percentage of sets tuned in. So set up all your televisions to the geographic channel or cooking channel! Anything that is not covering the inauguration, basically!
– Television must be on, but NOT tuned into channels covering Trump.
Please share this information! Copy and paste and spread the word.”

Excited about the next 4 years to undo all the damage from the last 8. Friday can’t come soon enough.

Wow Jeannie! Just about the time I thought I had heard it all this suggestion comes along. In a typical election half get what they want, half don’t. Maybe it is time to deal with the results in a more productive way?

Sorry, comment time is over.
