HOSTED BY THE DOWNTOWN SEATTLE REPUBLICAN CLUB
March -April 2007
Downtown Seattle Republican Club Seattle Times editorial writer, Bruce Ramsey, hosted on April 19. <
In 2006, Mark Miller and a team of experts led members of the 43rd in a special meeting of the I-5 cleanup patrol on November 18.
It was fun, and didn't take long (less than an hour).
This is one of the important ways we have to let our friends and neighbors know that we are here, and that we care about the city we live in as well as the environment of Puget Sound.
It also underscores one of our core beliefs: that we as a people do not have to wait for government to do something for us that we are perfectly capable of doing for ourselves.
;)
