Materials for the Sept 10 E-G Neighborhood Council Meeting

Materials for the Sept 10 E-G Neighborhood Council Meeting

Following a much-needed break in July and last month’s Summer Potluck in Emerson Park, the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council will resume its monthly meetings at the Corbin Senior Center (827 W Cleveland) tomorrow — that is, Wednesday, September 10 — starting at 7pm.

Among other things, we’ll be discussing shifting the neighborhood boundaries, Fulcrum‘s plans for renovating a building on N Ash, the status of our Greening Neighborhoods grants, the current crop of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding opportunities, and voting on the proposed MoU between Project Hope Spokane and the EGNC (which you should download and review before voting) regarding the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market.

If you live or work here in E-G or have a child who goes to school here, one or more of these issues will probably be of interest to you. The EGNC is an all-volunteer organization that welcomes participation from everyone who has a stake in our neighborhood, including residents, business owners and community leaders.

Corbin Senior Activity Center Fundraising Auction (Sep 27)

Corbin Senior Activity Center Fundraising Auction (Sep 27)

The Corbin Senior Activity Center (827 W Cleveland) is holding its twelfth and largest annual fundraiser on Saturday, September 27. This year it takes on a Greek theme. Doors open at 3pm, and a Mediterranean-style dinner with appetizers follows at 4:30pm.

Donations and reservations are still being actively solicited. You or your business can donate items to the silent or live auctions, or you can purchase reservations for individuals ($30), tables of eight ($215), and tables of ten ($275). This money helps the center keep its doors open and continue to provide essential community services in the face of ongoing budget cuts.

The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council would like to show its support for the center by reserving an 8- or 10-person table. If you would like to take out a seat or two at that table, please get in touch.

Additionally, a mere $24 will get anyone over the age of 18 an annual membership to the Corbin Senior Activity Center. Membership entitles you to use of their facilities and significant discounts with businesses all along N. Monroe.

For more information on annual membership, the upcoming auction, or If you’re interested in being a board member for the center (a three-year term will start in January, 2015), please call Christa Richardson at (509) 327-1584 (x10) or e-mail info@corbinseniorcenter.org.

Korean Food Sale TODAY (Aug 16)

Korean Food Sale TODAY (Aug 16)

Spokane Hope Christian Reformed Church (스포켄 소망교회) located at 806 W Knox is holding their Korean food sale today (Saturday, August 16) from 11am to 3pm. Apologies for the late notice!

Since last month Spokane Hope CRC has been holding their food sale sale every Friday concurrent with the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market so hungry shoppers can grab some freshly prepared, authentic Korean food to eat there or take away. But once a month they also do a Saturday sale with a larger menu that includes gimbap and bibim bap (see the image below).

Korean Food Sale (August 2014)There’s also a special offer running today: When you order four meals, you receive your fifth one free. Plus you can place your to-go orders via e-mail.

There’s even an added incentive for returning visitors. They now offer punch cards where your sixth order is free (please note, however, that it can’t be combined with the “order four, get five” offer above).

If you like the food, then be sure to find out more about their fellowship! Their bilingual worship service starts at 12:30pm on Sundays and, not surprisingly, is followed by a meal and socialization.

E-G Summer Potluck in Emerson Park (Aug 13)

E-G Summer Potluck in Emerson Park (Aug 13)

The annual Emerson-Garfield Summer Potluck will take place in Emerson Park this Wednesday, August 13 starting at 6pm.

The neighborhood potlucks are open to everyone who lives, works or plays in Emerson-Garfield, so feel free to come for the first (or fifteenth) time and invite other people on your block. These potlucks are a great way to meet your neighbors and members of the community in the relaxed surroundings of our neighborhood parks.

Vintage potluck

Don’t forget to bring a dish to share! It can be anything — a salad, a bowl of fruit, a bag of snack chips, or your world-famous enchiladas. There will be a limited amount of free hot dogs grilled by our resident BBQ maven as a bonus.

The August meeting of the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council will follow the potluck at 7pm. You can download the minutes from the June meeting (pending approval) for review as well as the August agenda.
