ACT NOW! Hillyard Survival Guide
Mann Hall Redevelopment

The community consortium's plan to redevelop Mann Hall into a Manufacturing and Workforce Development Center is Hillyard's best hope for real economic development.  It is currently in jeopardy as the City Council contemplates writing a re-use plan for the site that could include retail sale of a portion of the site, partial use by Spokane Public Schools, or something else entirely.

Hillyard Senior Center Benefit Auction, Dinner & Concert.
Friday, March 28th, 5:00pm, Northern Quest Casino. It's our Annual Dinner/Auction Night Fundraiser for the Hillyard Senior Center. This event is our largest fundraising event each year. I am approaching you as a personal friend or associate involved with the Hillyard Senior Center. As a non-profit organization it is vital for our agency to support our operations and programs through continued fundraising efforts.  However, in order for our fundraiser to be successful, it takes many loyal friends and associates who are willing to help support our cause. By simply purchasing a ticket and attending our fundraiser, your can be part of the support necessary for keeping our senior programs strong. These programs and activities are crucial to the elderly population. It is a proven fact that the average senior participating in an organized program (such as the Hillyard Senior Center) lives and average of 7 years longer. If this is your parent or grandparent, those 7 years are important years to hang on to!

Parks & Rec New Pools Neighborhood Meeting
Wednesday, April 9th, 6:30-8:00pm, Northeast Community Center 4001 N Cook St. The Parks and Recreation Department is seeking input on new and improved pools in our neighborhood.  It is very important that they hear from as many citizens as possible.  Click http://www.spokanepoolsandplay.com for more information.
