Warmest Holiday Wishes from the Stewardship Foundation!
|
|
| THANK YOU to all who attended
our fall event: "Celebrating our Watershed"
on November 12th.
| |
It was a wonderful community gathering. Our local watershed is truly something to celebrate, with its salmon streams, lake shore and forest canopy contributing to the quality of life we have here in LFP. The Stewardship Foundation works year-round to foster awareness, understanding, appreciation and stewardship of LFP's unique natural environment, and to preserve and enhance our parks and open spaces.
At the Celebration, more than a hundred guests enjoyed a dessert buffet, wine and other refreshments, raffle prizes, good company and live music.
The Foundation Board presented the 2010 Community Stewardship Award to retiring four-term State Senator Darlene Fairley for her many years of public service and dedication to the communities within the 32nd District. 
The event program touched on Stewardship Foundation accomplishments of the past year, and included a presentation by Peter Donaldson of Friends of the Cedar River Watershed. The one-of-a-kind musical stylings of local group "Padres of the Park" were enjoyed by all, and added to the celebratory mood.
The full house included State Representative Ruth Kagi and newly elected Representative Cindy Ryu, as well as a few LFP City Council members and an appreciative audience of Stewardship Foundation friends and supporters. 
A big THANK YOU to our Sponsors: Frank Lumber (the Door Store), Custom Pure (the Water Store), Ballinger Medical Clinic, Ballinger Massage Envy, Windermere Seattle-Northlake and Dr. Fred Ebsworth, DDS, for underwriting the event.
Also, appreciation goes to our raffle prize donors: the Lake Forest Grill, ceramic artist Jamie Anderson, the Avid Angler and Towne Center Hardware.

| The weather outside is frightful?
Volunteering is still delightful! | 'Tis the time of year when we appreciate the beauty of nature, perhaps more from indoors than out...unless you are Mamie Bolender and Libby Fiene, along with their intrepid volunteers who were out working at Grace Cole Nature Park on a rainy December Saturday just past! The ivy doesn't stop growing just because it's winter...so neither do our efforts to control invasive non-native species, which if left unchecked, can damage trees, out-compete native plants and degrade animal habitat. Since we worked to create Grace Cole Park many years ago, the Stewardship Foundation has been actively improving the park year-round, from Ivy Out! work parties, to planting native plants and building trails. In the new year, there will be many volunteer opportunities coming up in parks and open spaces citywide. We invite you to get involved and support the Stewardship Foundation!
