Happy November! Hope this message finds you well!
Sorry for the late notice, but we have rescheduled our work party from 11/4 that was canceled due to high winds. We still have the swag from Green Seattle, so come out and join us as we add native plants to west side of the lake.  Hope you are still able to join us.

In addition to planting we will also be mulching to protect and nourish our new plants.

As usual:

Date: Nov. 18th
Time:10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Meet: Beside the Aqua Theater at the east end of the Small Craft Center

If you arrive late, follow the Event signs to find the work site:

Dress for the weather and the dirty work, wear closed-toed shoes and bring a bottle of water.

Hope to see you there!
