Volunteers needed for Kirkland Uncorked, July 17-19

Sustainable Kirkland is pleased to partner with Kirkland Uncorked to "green" this year's festival.

Kirkland Uncorked: A Festival of Art, Style & Taste, will be held July 17 - 19 on the downtown Kirkland waterfront. The annual event features, wine, food, art, and jazz music. Highlights include art shows, grilling competitions and demonstrations, tasting with 13 Washington wineries, main stage jazz performances, tours of The Lady Washington (the Official Ship of the State of Washington), a dog model search, and the Kirkland Classic Car Show. A portion of ticket sales and proceeds from a selection of artworks donated by the artists will benefit Hope Heart Institute.

Sustainable Kirkland volunteers will staff recycling and composting stations to educate visitors about recycling in the City of Kirkland. Volunteers are needed, and everyone is welcome! To sign up, please e-mail info@sustainablekirkland.org. Festival volunteers will receive a free pass to attend the festival.

Garage sale this weekend

Garage Sale - Saturday May 16th

Instead of running our own Garage Sale in April, we decided to join up with the City of Kirkland community sale at Juanita Beach on Saturday May 16th.

We're sharing two tables, as a group, and in addition to raising some money for Sustainable Kirkland we hope to promote the group.

Next meeting is this Thursday!

May Monthly Meeting - Thursday May 14th at 6:30 pm

We are being hosted by David and Jackie. Details are being discussed on the mailing list.
