President’s Message

While it feels like spring is upon us, we still have a couple of months of winter remaining. By the time this publishes, who knows what the weather will be.

Exciting news for our monthly meeting held this next month on Wednesday, February 7 at 7pm. A group presented a mural idea to the LCC Board, focusing on our community, from both historical and cultural views to be placed on the wall at 31st and Jackson.

As is our purpose of involving the community-at-large in our decisions, they will repeat the presentation in hopes it compels us to sanction so they can move forward with funding opportunities. Please join us at the Central Area Community Center for this lively discussion.

Looking forward, we anticipate offering an earthquake preparedness program and a diversity awareness program in the near. Our annual meeting in May will feature a community appreciation awards program.

I encourage you to participate, get to know the many nuances of our village of Leschi and all of your neighbors. Especially I reach out to our newer neighbors who have moved to Leschi in the last few years. The discovery of why our enclave is one of the best-kept secrets in the City of Seattle will unfold and beckon you to embrace involvement.

Warmest wishes for the month—may laughter fill your days.

~Janice Merrill Brown President, Leschi Community Council
