<div dir="ltr"><div>Two important items this week:</div>
<div>1. Seattle Parks Levy--House Party Invitation</div>
<div>2. DiscNW Youth Summit</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>1. Seattle Proposition 2—the Seattle Parks and Green Spaces Levy--will be up for vote on November 4.</strong> The levy will provide funding for several Ultimate field rennovations and a number of other improvements that will likely affect your community (for more details, visit <a href="http://www.discnw.org/" target="_blank">www.discnw.org</a> and <a href="http://keep.seattleparksforall.org/" target="_blank">http://keep.seattleparksforall.org</a>). If the levy fails, we will lose a major source of funding for parks improvements, since the current levy expires this year. <br>
<br>DiscNW is hosting two house parties to raise funds for the Seattle Parks for All campaign. We encourage you to attend (and spread the word about) the following 2 events:</div>
