Jan 5: 7-7:30 registration, 7:30-9:00 SING!

SNOW POLICY:  We cancel if the PNA closes, here is their policy:

If we get snow overnight on a weekday, the Phinney Neighborhood Center follows the Seattle Public Schools snow closure schedule. If the schools are closed, we are closed. Check their website (www.seattleschools.org) or call our reception desk (206/783-2244) to verify closure.
 
If it starts snowing during the day, or on a weekend, please call the Phinney Center to find out if we are staying open. If we decide to close, we update our outgoing voicemail message as soon as we make the decision. In addition, we try to reach all renters scheduled for that day via phone and email.

send an email to Rebecca Galloway. (If you have trouble with that link and are logged in here, here's another way to send her a message.

hi all

This is an experiment related to a project my startup Sociative is doing. It's a 'social aggregator', in this case applied to news about the Occupy movement. Feedback/complaints/critique welcome. Send me a note here, click on the headlines below, 'like' us on Facebook...
