Seattle Parks for All Levy

 

Seattle Proposition 2-the Seattle Parks and Green
<http://keep.seattleparksforall.org/>  Spaces Levy will be up for vote on
November 4.

 

The levy will provide funding for several Ultimate field renovations and a
number of other improvements that will likely affect your community.  If it
fails, we will lose a major source of funding for parks improvements, since
the current levy expires this year. 

 

What can you do to help, besides voting "yes" on Prop 2?

1. Donate. 

Make a donation to the campaign online at the Seattle Parks for All
<https://www.upwardstech.net/seattleparks/>  website. 

Donations made directly to the campaign by Ultimate community members will
be matched by DiscNW, up to $5,000.  To make sure that your donation gets
counted, write "DiscNW" in the memo line of your check, and email
advocacyinfo at discnw.org to tell us how much you donated! 

2. Party! 

Save the date for the following house party, which will collect donations to
support the Seattle Parks for All campaign:

Saturday, October 18 

*	Hosted by Andy Fuller 
*	1909 25th Avenue East, Seattle, WA 
*	Time TBA soon 
*	Email advocacyinfo at discnw.org to be added to the guest list. 

 

Check out the  <http://www.discnw.org/> DiscNW home page for more details on
the improvements funded by the levy, and for more information on how you can
