Wouldn’t you know, it ended at 2:00!

Mary February 12, 2010 4 Comments

We’ve all been watching the devastation in Haiti and just yesterday the second crippling snowstorm that has paralyzed the Mid-Atlantic region and most of the Eastern seaboard.  I wonder how many of us have been thinking about getting an emergency kit set aside. You know, some water and food, maybe stash a crank flashlight and first aid kit with it.

For the past couple of years, Sustainable Wallingford and the Wallingford Community Council, in partnership with the Seattle Office of Emergency Management, have steadily been working on some community level preparedness while encouraging individual and block level organizing through events …

Mary February 11, 2010 1 Comment

(Welcome Wallingford Neighborhood Council President Mary Heim to these pages. She will be contributing directly to Wallyhood, including both notes from the Council meetings, like this, and other thoughts and issues as she pleases.)

The monthly Wallingford Community Council, WCC, board meeting was held Wednesday February 3rd at the Good Shepherd Center.
