Our very enthusiastic 8 year old member of the bread and roses guest house is on the look out for new clothes. She has grown out of all her clothes and needs some for back to school and staying cool in this heat. She is going into 3rd grade this year and is hoping to remain stylish and comfortable, her only request is “anything but tie-dye” please. Her mother can not work due to disability and wants her daughter to have gently used or unused clothes this school year.

These are two amazing people and really could use the help of this community.

If you can help out with vouchers, gift certificates or donations please call bread and roses advocacy center at 360.745.4588 or 360.754.4085

• Her sizes are shirts size 12, or large,
• jeans size 12,
• shoes kids 3,
• underwear size 12.

Thank you!

The City Council's public hearing on Triway's proposal to rezone the isthmus will be September 16th, 6:00 to 11:00 PM, at the Washington Center (512 Washington St. SE). At their Monday meeting the council revised the procedures for commenting and testifying at the hearing; the changes are on their website at http://www.ci.olympia.wa.us/newsfaqs/IsthmusRezone.htm. (See my Cliff Notes below...)

They'll also accept written, phone and email comments through September 23. (I haven't checked with them myself but I understand Councilmembers Machlis and Ottavelli have said they're not willing to discuss the issue individually with people, because they're concerned about maintaining the appearance of fairness. I think that everybody else on the Council has said they'd also be willing to talk with people who contacted them directly.)

[Next day's note - BUT it turns out that I should have checked with them myself - one strike for citizen journalism. As you can see from the comments below, people soon said they thought that was wrong. I wrote him to ask, and got a nice note back. He's still happy to talk to people individually about this. My apologies all around for my misinformation.]

Sometime after September 23rd, they'll discuss and vote on the rezone at a regular Council meeting, maybe as soon as September 30th. (Of course, if the new Olympia Capitol Park Foundation initiative requiring a study of the cost of creating a park on that land as an alternative has gathered enough signatures by then so that they legally have to deal with it, that will complicate matters.)

Here's my summary of the details about the new procedures for testimony...

The Olympia Downtown Association will be holding our Quarterly Membership Meeting this evening at Bayview Thriftway. It will start at 6:00 pm and run for about an hour and a half. Admission is $10 and includes appetizers and beverages.

Come hear about the changes that are happening with the ODA as we introduce our new website, talk about volunteer opportunities and learn about new businesses. In addition, there will be an overview of the new Main Street designation the ODA recieved and what that means for downtown!

For more information, call the Olympia Downtown Association at 357-8948.
