So much has been accomplished since completion of the South Park Agenda in 2006! The Duwamish Bike Trail was completed, the South Park Community Center experienced many improvements and community and youth programs expanded – to name a few of the dozens of successes.

Where are we headed next? Now, we want your input on where to head next. Many of the community priorities in the Action Agenda still need to be implemented – which ones should we focus on over the next one to five years? And should we tackle additional priorities that were not included in the original Action Agenda?

5 Sections of South Park Community Goals from 2006 Action Agenda:
1. Youth Development
2. Environment and Physical Improvements
3. Community Engagement
4. Business and Transportation
5. Public Safety

Thank You

DRUMMERBOY (that’s Jeff Hayes!) with Kimball Conant will rock more than a duo should be allowed to and…
Dubcar (that’s JB Tellez on sax!) will blend up a mix of psycheledic, Jamaican and heckifIknow. Yesss.

This is the way to do Night Out Against Crime, people. Summer nights have been scarce this year. Don’t miss this.

It’ll be the perfect excuse to enjoy a summer evening, chat up your neighbors and learn South Park fun facts (a brothel, river restoration, a speakeasy, farming, skating–all that’s in the mix.) Plus you’ll be able to visit the studios of local artists.

Grab a map for a self-led tour or meet up at the Neighborhood Center for a guided bike tour (6:30 or 7:30).

More updates to come, but plan on motivating yourself and others next Wednesday. For more ways to get In Motion, check out the King County program web page, and learn how to reduce single car trips.

Meet our friendly outreach staff at upcoming events like our South Park Artist Studio Tour and Architectural History bike ride with South Park Arts, or bring your kids to a transportation-themed story hour at the South Park Library with Miss Bea.

For those of you not familiar with SPIARC here is a little background ….

MISSION:

“The South Park Information and Resource Center (SPIARC) is a community-driven organization that provides access to services and to community networks, and connects neighbors to neighbors.”

SPIARC serves as a neighborhood hub where community members can connect with one another, groups, projects and obtain access to information and resources. More than 700 people visit the information center each year and as the SPIARC staff and our organizational capacity continues to develop we expect this number to grow.

SPIARC staff and volunteers help people to navigate various issues regardless of language, literacy, computer literacy/access, or other circumstances. When possible, we provide direct assistance on issues that can be easily navigated from the Center. Some of these include resumes and employment on-line application assistance, utility bill reduction application preparation, translation and interpretation services, (Imagine for example, getting a traffic ticket and not being able to read English). In other cases we direct customers to outside services and resources, like energy-payment assistance, medical, dental and mental health resources, housing and shelter programs, Immigration and legal resources, child care resources, meal programs, senior programs, you name it. We also offer important links to community groups and regional service providers like Sea Mar, Consejo, Concord International Elementary, South Park Community Center, South Park Neighborhood Center, South Park Neighborhood Association, South Park Business Association, South Park Merchants Association, South Park Arts, South Park Action Agenda etc. In fact we are home of the South Park Action Agenda.

Additionally SPIARC is very focused at a community level in South Park. We work to maintain and foster relationships with other neighborhood-based committees and local service providers, in an effort to encourage partnerships and reduce duplication of services. We serve as the place to come to find out how to connect with the group in South Park that fits your interest or project. We also work to help keep the community informed on as many levels as possible by getting the word out, managing event calendars, help with outreach and keeping asset maps and other documents for South Park.

SPIARC serves many needs on a small budget, we utilize our funding very efficiently. We would deeply appreciate your support to help ensure that we can continue to provide free multi-lingual resources for the residents of South Park and surrounding areas.

When you give to the South Park Information and Resource Center this Thursday, June 23rd, your gift will be matched by The Seattle Foundation’s GiveBIG community giving challenge!

GiveBIG is a one-day event created by Seattle Foundation that will rally together the community to create a wave of charitable giving to support amazing non-profit organizations, including Children’s Alliance.

Here’s how it works.

The Seattle Foundation and local businesses will match a share of every contribution made through the Seattle Foundation’s Online Giving Center, on Thursday, June 23rd, between 7am and midnight.

Every gift, large and small, will go a very long way in supporting the work we do for and in South Park, and GiveBIG is a window of opportunity for you to see your gift grow.

Thank you for your support, and for being part of this wonderful community of friends, neighbors, businesses, service providers and industry.

Two more ways to help:

· Forward this message, with a personal note from you, to someone you know who cares about South Park and folks who need our services!
· Volunteer with us!

Sincerely,
Lora

Lora Suggs
Program Manager

P.S. As an added bonus, if you give on June 23rd, you could be chosen at random to select a charity of your choice to receive an additional $1,000 from GiveBIG’s sponsors!
