Most birthdays are happy occasions, but for Roger and Gena Starkweather 16 year West Seattle residents, the occasion of Roger's 50th had to be special and it had to mean more. The theme of his birthday party was "Sparkle Central" which was obviously very loosely translated by the more than 130 guests who attended the event Saturday, Jan. 28 at the Hall at Fauntleroy. A wide range of odd, funny, and outlandish costumes were on display. A DJ supplied the music and donated his services.
But this party had a purpose. It had a raffle with some great prizes but they made the proceeds go to the West Seattle Foodbank. It was Roger's 50th Birthday but the Food Bank got the biggest gift.
The raffle items included:
$100 gift certificate from John Howie Steaks
$100 bottle of wine from Valerie & Chris Legler
$200 wine and cheese basket from Fromaggio Artisan Cheese Shoppe
A yoga basket from Two Rivers Yoga
"RAKU" fired ceramic from Alki Arts
