Highland Parkers at Delridge Days
A nice group took a stroll on Saturday to the Delridge Days/Refresh Southwest event at the Delridge Community Center. On the way they picked up trash, photographed things that need work (tagging) and visited various neighborhood sites. Here are some photos by Dinazina, with more on her flickr stream here.
See more at the West Seattle Herald and the West Seattle Blog here, here and here.
Luckily it was beautiful and warm in the midst of our rainy days and days.

Results from our 2010 Wine For Our Times Event
We had a great time at our 2nd annual WINE FOR OUR TIMES event!
See Dina’s 100+ pictures here.
We got to know more neighbors and tasted some good wines – and some not so good ones – that won’t break the bank. We were able to raise more money than we hoped for the Building Fund of the Highland Park Improvement Club. Meeting our fundraising goal, combined with the opportunity to meet new people in our community, makes this event a very successful one for us. Thanks to all who were a part of it!
