Food and Song in Seward Park
Karen Richter
All PSARA members, families, and friends are invited to our September 1st summer membership meeting and potluck. The meeting is being held on Tuesday, September 1st, from 11:30 – 2:00 pm, in beautiful Seward Park on the shores of Lake Washington. PSARA will provide veggie, chicken and beef burgers, sausages, and drinks. Please bring something to share. If you would like something to drink other than still or sparkling water, please bring it along. However, alcoholic beverages are not permitted in the park.
Mayor Katie Wilson and King County Council Member Teresa Mosqueda have been invited to join us and each has indicated they plan to attend.
We are also delighted to have members of the Seattle Labor Chorus, who will lead us in song.
Our grill masters, Carlos de la Torre and Robby Stern, will start grilling at 11:30 at Shelter #3. Directions for finding the shelter are below. There will be directional signage in the main parking lot, guiding you to the shelter. Access to the shelter is from a level parking lot to a level sidewalk that leads to the shelter. For those of you who attended last year, it is the same shelter.
Seward Park is located at 5895 Lake Washington Blvd. S., Seattle.
