information from VIEWS

This week Visualizing Increased Engagement in West Seattle (VIEWS), as part
of its Mission, made donations to three Delridge Community organizations.
VIEWS is a non-partisan community organization comprised of local citizens
creating programming to educate, engage & mobilize West Seattle citizens to
sustain & improve the quality of life & services available across the
peninsula. 

The organizations recognized with these donations were:

1) The Associated Recreation Council (ARC) based at the Delridge Community
Center. This donation of $2,000 will be used to support the preschool and
teen programs offered at the Delridge Community Center.

2) Cindi Barker with the West Seattle Communication Hub Network. This
donation of $250 will be used to help underwrite the cost of new
communication equipment.

3) Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association. This donation of $250
will be used to help support youth and cultural programming that this
organization presents to our Delridge Community. It was also given in
recognition of the untiring efforts of Nafasi Ferrell who has assisted VIEWS
at Delridge Day the last two years in arranging our entertainment.

    ps. Due to scheduling conflicts VIEWS mainstays Michael Taylor Judd
and Ann Martin were not available for the presentation ceremonies held at
the Delridge Community Center. 

VIEWS has a history of making donations like these over its history to
organizations that are striving to improve and build a better Delridge
community. VIEWS organizes the Gathering of Neighbors and Delridge Day
Festival annually. In addition VIEWS also has hosted city council candidate
forums and other community building efforts. If you are interested in the
