We Won! Thank you for all the votes!
Voting daily in the Home Depot Foundation's Aprons In Action Contest, dedicated LIHI supporters voted an amazing 5,503 time to secure a $25,000 award that will be used to renovate LIHI's Arion Court Apartments, which features 37 units for homeless veterans and others. The award will be used to paint the building exterior, install new windows, and improve the courtyards.
Stay tuned for details on how you can help LIHI compete for the $250,000 grand prize in summer 2013.

Punk Rock Flea Market in LIHI Basement This Saturday December 8th!
Saturday, December 8, 2012 from noon to 8:00pm. At the world renowned Underground Events Center, 2407 1st Ave. in Belltown. Still just $1 admission! And you get bargains ALL DAY! ...
More than 55 peddlers, canvassers, cheapjacks, and solicitors pile into the LIHI basement to sell an enormous variety of arts, crafts, comic books, belt buckles, bike parts, jewelry, vintage clothing, fine furniture, stereo equipment, jams and jellies, bras and panties, cakes and cookies, tools, magazines, records, musical instruments, zippo lighters, walking shoes, smoking accessories, and untold riches of punk rock paraphernalia.
It's as if Andy Warhol held a combination police auction and neighborhood swap meet. While shopping you will be offered scrumptious mostly-healthy handmade food and will be surrounded by live and bottled music from all cultures known to humankind.
It still costs just ONE DOLLAR to enter the Punk Rock Flea Market, and that dollar still goes DIRECTLY to our kind hosts The Low Income Housing Institute. Try your luck, take a chance, spend a buck, buy some pants. Nothing sold will come with a warranty, nor is there a return policy, but for those with a sense of adventure and tightly crossed fingers, there WILL be bargains.
