Highland Park and Riverview Residents: YOUR NEIGHBORS NEED YOU!

[inactive]

Your Highland Park and Riverview neighbors need you! They want to throw down some good times while talking about the present and future needs of the Greenbelt Gateway to West Seattle – Highland Park and Riverview. If you are not sure if you are within the boundaries of those areas, come on down anyway.

On Monday, Nov. 24th the regular 7 PM meeting of the Highland Park Action Committee will be an important one for you and your neighbors. The agenda is copied below for you to have a look see. Even though this meeting might seem boring or unpleasant, be assured these are a group of friendly, positive, neighbors who REALLY want to get things done, and actually do get things done. But, they want to get their good times on as well.

Highland Park and Riverview need more uniquely talented, or motivated, or caring, or funny, wonderful folks to step up. But, first, sit down and eat with everyone! You are out there, reading this and wondering if it is worth it to show up. Well, if you care about your own, as well as others’ families, homes, schools, safety and community health, you belong at this meeting. If you like to be social, you belong at this meeting. If you have strong opinions about our communities, you belong at this meeting. If you’ve got a great casserole dish or appetizer recipe, YOU BELONG AT THIS MEETING! ;)

These current times demand that each of us, as citizens and neighbors, stretch ourselves and our families a little further than we are use to. It is fairly certain that times will be more challenging, but when goods folks step outside their comfort zone and join with their neighbors with good intention? Well, that is a good thing and remarkable things can happen. We strengthen ourselves and each other by sharing our unique abilities and gifts.

But, to do this, people have to at least connect with each other. So, come to this meeting and just observe, or share, or follow or lead if you are inspired.

This meeting is a potluck, but you don’t have to bring anything – but you! You and whomever you care to bring with you. Many are young, many older and a few in betweeners!

Introduce yourselves to friendly, fun-loving group of your neighbors who manage to put their heads together to find solutions to neighborhood challenges.

If you cannot make Monday but might attend a potluck down the road, and want to be included in all future mailings about the issues and events, please write to info@highlandpk.net and ask that you be put on the regular mailing list.

Thanks for taking the time to read all of this. Here’s the agenda copied from the recent notice for Monday’s meeting, fyi:

Top Five Reasons Why You Should Attend the Meeting:

1. Pot Luck dinner! We will now start our meetings with pot luck food and fun with your neighbors.

wsdood, I used to live a stone’s throw from the HP improvement club. I put it on my calendar in case I can get out of my @*$&% job on time. Thanks for the info! I am sure my old neighbors will be there, which is another reason to make the effort. :)
