Announcement
- RBCC neighbor and head of a new group, The Friends of Be’er Sheva Park, Brandon Works will give a brief presentation about a project that he’s been working on to improve the landscaping in some of the public right-of-ways in our neighborhood. The city will mow the median but not plant anything. Brandon is proposing that we plant some of these options:
- wild flower meadow
- bench at outlook points
- entrance perennial and annuals
He is willing to do installation but he needs commitment of community members to do some work to maintain the plantings. His email is watersmedian@gmail.com for anyone interested in contacting him. Brandon wrote a grant but needs community support in order to move forward.
- Carol O’Brian has copy of 100 year Rainier Beach Women’s Club 1908-2008 She would like to offer it as a library book for neighbor to borrow. We would like to do this with a Kubota garden book as well. Carol will bring it to Alan and we will organize
