One week till the Delridge Day festival and skatepark opening (11 am-3 pm Sept. 17th) – two notes today:

ADOPT-A-STREET CLEANUP: We caught up with the North Delridge Neighborhood Council Adopt-A-Street volunteers as they were getting ready for one last pre-Delridge Day cleanup this morning; if you noticed any yellow bags in the area, that’ s their handiwork!

BAKE SALE NEEDS GOODIES: Delridge Community Center Advisory Board member Francesca Annis sends word that the community bake sale that’ll be part of next Saturday’s festival needs community donations! Can you donate something – homemade or store-bought? It’ll help raise money for a youth-scholarship fund. Francesca says that whatever you can donate, you’ll be in good company:

Great Start Preschool, School Age Care and the Teen Program housed within the center are all making items to contribute. NDNC, Bakery Nouveau, Zatz a Better Bagel, C&P Coffee Co., The Original Bakery, Great Harvest Baking Co., Sugar Rush Baking Co./Coffee to a Tea, Manderin Cookie Co., Starbucks, Safeway, Metropolitan Market, QFC and PCC have also committed to our efforts and we hope to receive word from other West Seattle bakeries and grocery stores.

Please join us by donating your favorite home-made or store-bought goods. We will also accept non traditional bake sale items such as individual size fruit snacks, chips/crackers or candy. If possible, please wrap your home-made items individually. You may drop off your contribution at Delridge Community Center, located at 4501 Delridge Way SW. We will also accept monetary donations in lieu of baked items. For more information please contact Francesca Annis via e-mail at keekai@comcast.net. You may also call the center at 206-684-7423 and ask for Ryan Spencer or Alice Greer.
