Learn how to organize a Shoreline community project at free workshop

“Organizing a Community Project” Workshop for Neighborhood and Environmental Mini-Grant

Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.

Shoreline City Hall, Council Chambers, 17500 Midvale Ave N

During the past year, Echo Lake residents installed a walking path, Sunset Elementary neighbors organized a community art party, and over 150 participants toured backyard wildlife habitats in Shoreline with the intention of creating their own wildlife habitat.

These projects were organized by Shoreline residents who applied for Mini-Grant funding – which is available again in 2012.

Is there a neighborhood or environmental project that you would like to make happen this year?

A how-to workshop on February 29 will give you the information you need to apply for either a Neighborhood or Environmental Mini-Grant. Grants of several hundred dollars up to $5,000 are available on a first-come first-served basis for both types of grants.

For more information contact Neighborhood Coordinator Nora Smith at 206-801-2253,  or Environmental Programs Coordinator Rika Cecil at 206-801-2452. No registration required; open to the public.
