A few random tidbits from the last SW District Council meeting:

3. Community Harvest of Southwest Seattle is looking for volunteers to pick fruit during the summer harvest . Also, if you have a tree to be harvested and are willing to donate the fruit (to be used at West Seattle and White Center Food Banks, senior center and schools) please contact organizers at www.gleanit.org, info@gleanit.org or 206.762.0604.
4. Clean and Green Event - Residents of West Seattle are needed to assist in a massive effort to clean up the area from Walking on Logs to the light at 35th & Fauntleroy. We will be working with SDOT and other departments to rid the area of growth, litter and debris.

5. Summer Fest is coming . . . July 11, 12 and 13! See you there!
Our next JuNO meeting will take place on Tuesday, July 8th at 6:30pm at Ginomai (corner of 42nd and Genesee). Our agenda includes a presentation by CORA (Concil for Residential Architects) concerning townhouse development and the proposed revisions to the multifamily code and Blue Star developers will present the new design rendering of Fauntleroy Place (Whole Foods and Hancock Fabrics).
We will also have very brief updates on some of the other projects happening in the neighborhood and opportunities for volunteer involvement.
JuNO is looking for leadership . . . if you have any interest in serving on our board, we would love to hear from you! This is a great opportunity to meet neighbors, learn more about your community and give back!
I look forward to seeing you all Tuesday.

Volunteers - STRUT YOUR STUFF!
Calling all volunteers who live or work in
If you’re not already in the West Seattle Grand Parade on July 19th during the Hi-Yu Festival, you are hereby invited to frolic/march with us. Why the parade? Just because! (Havent you always wanted to be in a parade?)
Were not organized, scheduled or in any way coherent for this event, just like your average volunteer activity. The one thing that is firm:
If you show up decorated in anything that remotely resembles your volunteer activity, we will buy you a beer or soda at West 5 after the parade. Silliness and giant leaps of imagination are encouraged, have fun with your topic. Afterwards, youll be trying to explain yourself - networking at its finest, eh?
No need to RSVP or pre-register, though we’d like to hear from you, so if you think you might be interested drop us a line at volunteermarchers@gmail.com
Meeting place and details to come; watch morganjunction.org, and we’ll e-mail you updates if you RSVP to us at the email above. Just save the morning of Saturday, July 19th and get that outfit ready now!
Your kids are welcome to be in the parade with you, consider a wagon or stroller for the wee ones.
No motorized things; we will have a Mini-Cooper already in the parade to carry our sign and play snappy music.
Dont bring candy to toss, parade rules say no to that.
Cool costume = West 5 ticket
May 29th at 6:30pm at the SW precinct community room will be the 2nd design review for the Conner Homes proposed project on 42nd/Alaska/California.

It is very important that residents attend this meeting to give further comments on the project. This project will have a significant impact on our Junction and will set the tone for future development on our ‘main street’.
We will be hosting our 2nd Adopt-A-Street Cleanup on Saturday May 31st from 9am-1pm.
If you would like to volunteer for this event, please post a comment here or email kyle.mizell@gmail.com.
No experience necessary and all supplies are provided!
A reminder that our meeting will take place on Tuesday, May 13th from 6:30-8pm at Ginomai (corner of 42nd and Genesee in the old West Seattle Christian Church School).
Blue Star will be present to update us on the construction of the approved Whole Foods project and how it will impact our neighborhood. They will also give us some new information on the proposed project in the ex-Huling Showroom property.
Conner Homes will then present information on the proposed project on California/Alaska/42nd that went to design review in April. We have sent them comments and suggestions based onthe presentation, and they are open to further discussion.
Our website, www.wsjuno.com, is temporarily down. The site was hacked so we are in the process of working with our provider to restore the information. I hope to report on Tuesday that it is up again - stay tuned.
Also, we will be having a garage sale this Saturday from 9-3pm in front of 4542 41st Ave SW. Proceeds from the garage sale will go towards our $300 501c3 application fee and process. If you have any items you would like to donate to the garage sale to help us raise money, feel free to stop in on Saturday. All unsold items will be given to a local charity.
I look forward to seeing you all soon!
Sincerely,
Erica Karlovits
President, JuNO
