Reminder: City Parks & Rec 'Dessert Before Dinner' Holiday Fundraiser 4 pm Tonight

Mercer Island Parks and Recreation Department invites residents to come to the Mercer Island Community and Event Center to enjoy holiday treats, music and fun as a way to support city parks and rec programs.

On Sunday, December 16 from 4 to 5:30 p.m., the Mercer Island Parks and Recreation Department invites residents to come to the Mercer Island Community and Event Center for delicious desserts, musical entertainment, and some last minute holiday shopping.

The "Dessert Before Dinner!" event features music by Island students and music teachers from both Musical Mind Studio and Mercer Island Music.  

Holiday shopping is in the form of a silent auction that supports Community Event programs coordinated by the Department.   

"Live a little and enjoy 'Dessert Before Dinner'!" said City Recreation Superintendent Diane Mortenson.

Registration for the event is $12 and done either on-line at www.myparksandrecreation.com or by calling 206-275-7609.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
