June 1 is Garden Day at HPIC

Need some garden inspiration? Help plant HPIC’s Rain Garden June 1, starting at 10am. This is the beginning of HPIC’s effort to soften our parking lot while helping to keep storm overflow from polluting the Duwamish River and Puget Sound. Every little bit helps! King County RainWise will be there – with the RainWise program now in our neighborhood, you could get up to a 100% reimbursement for the installation of a rain garden or cistern.

HP Uncorked – Thank you + list of top wines

Thank you to everyone who helped to make our 5th annual wine tasting fundraiser a huge success!  Our first sold out event!!!

Through our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and of course, our event guests, we were able to raise over $5,000 for our cause!  All proceeds will go to our building fund, helping us to accomplish our dream of making necessary renovations to the club so it may continue to serve our neighbors and community.  This was our most successful fundraising effort, and we are so grateful for everyone’s support.
