The Spokane Firefighters Union is holding a Community Meeting Concerning Emergency Services TONIGHT (Wednesday, July 23) at the Woman’s Club of Spokane (1428 W 9th). It runs from 6 to 8pm.
This community meeting is a continuation of the dialogue that the IAFF Local 29 initiated earlier this year by presenting at neighborhood council meetings across Spokane. (FYI, they spoke to the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council back in April.) Their eye-opening presentation discussed the department’s current state of affairs, such as lack of funding and uncertainty about the services they should be providing. It also compared the emergency services model here in Spokane with others around the country.
At tonight’s meeting, Spokane Firefighters Union President Don Waller will provide a recap of the presentation and cover some new material to bring attendees up to speed and help them understand the problems and potential solutions. Your feedback will be important, because it will have a direct impact on the kind of emergency services you and your neighbors receive.
If you do plan on attending, please try to RSVP here on the Facebook event page so they can get a rough head count. There looks to be a lot of interest.
Spokane Hope Christian Reformed Church (스포켄 소망교회) located at 806 W Knox will be holding another Korean Food Sale this month. This month it’s moved back to Saturday (July 19) from 11am to 2pm because the all-day Friday marathon last month was exhausting for these volunteer chefs.
In August they’re hoping to do a special Friday night food sale to coincide with the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market, then the regular one on Saturday.
This food sale is continuing the special offer of recent months. That is, when you order four meals, you receive a fifth for free. Plus they’re welcoming take-out orders via e-mail now!
If you’d like to join Spokane Hope CRC on Sundays, their worship begins at 12:30pm. Their service is bilingual (Korean & English). They hold a free meal for congregants and guests following the service.
Want more info about the church or its food sale? E-mail Spokane Hope CRC pastor James Shin at shinejds@gmail.com or call him on (509) 720-9646.
