Pancakes ‘n’ More at Corbin (Apr 19)

April 16, 2014 Emerson Garfield

The Corbin Senior Center (827 W Cleveland) will be holding its annual Pancakes ‘n’ More event on Saturday, April 19 from 7:30 to 10:30am. It will take place in the center’s Henderson Room.

What’s on the menu? Pancakes, sausage, eggs, orange juice and your choice of coffee or hot chocolate. And that’s all for just $7 per person. If you’re planning on attending the street-tree planting event in Emerson-Garfield on the same day, this would make a great stop beforehand.

This event helps raise funds for Lions Club Projects as well as the Corbin Senior Center. A Spokane Lions Club van will be on site doing health screenings.

N. Monroe Business Outreach Event (Apr 17)

April 15, 2014 Emerson Garfield

The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Planning group will be holding a business outreach event at CSL Plasma (2126 N. Monroe) on Thursday, April 17 at 7pm.

The event is open to anyone who owns a business or property along or near N. Monroe, primarily those north of the “five corners” intersection with Indiana and NW Boulevard and south of the North Hill. The aim is to inform participants how the planning group arrived at some proposals for improvements to N. Monroe following a nearly two-year effort, and to solicit input from the business and property owners that speaks to their vision for this important corridor.

Light refreshments will be served at the event, which should run no more than 90 minutes. A number of guest speakers will be addressing the benefits of a large-scale revitalization effort, including Councilwoman Candace Mumm, urban planners, and business leaders from the E. Sprague and S. Perry districts.

Materials for the April 9 EGNC Meeting

April 9, 2014 Emerson Garfield

Join the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council when they meet tonight (Wednesday, April 9) at 7pm in the Corbin Senior Center (827 W Cleveland). It’s a lighter agenda than the past two meetings, but there are some important items.

The top item will be voting on the North Hill Neighborhood’s proposed developer agreement for the city-owned property on Cora at the base of the N. Monroe Hill. You can find that agreement as an appendix in this month’s agenda. We ask that you please familiarize yourself with that document beforehand to avoid prolonging the meeting.

The second important item is elections. Our secretary is dead set on stepping down after four years in the role, and though his shoes will be tough ones to fill, we’re hoping the right candidate will do so.

Don Waller, President of the Spokane Firefighters Union IAFF 29C will be one of the two guest speakers. Fulcrum Institute canceled because they wanted to develop their project more fully before addressing neighborhoods, but Alicia Powell of the Office of Neighborhood Services will be taking their place to finalize the scheduled tree-planting on N. Maple on April 19.

In addition to addressing some recent resident concerns, there will also be updates on the annual Spring Cleanup event, scheduled for May 10.

Korean Food Event (Apr 12)

April 7, 2014 Emerson Garfield

Good news for Asian food fanatics: Spokane Hope Christian Reformed Church (스포켄 소망교회) has switched from a biannual schedule to a monthly event with their Korean food sales! The next one will be on Saturday, April 12 from 11am to 2pm.

If you’re not already aware of where the SHCRC is, don’t worry. Raising awareness about the church is part of the reason why they hold these events. They share a building with Knox Presbyterian Church (806 W Knox), which is where the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market is held during market season. In fact, the SHCRC recently informed us that they’re hoping to have a vendor booth at the market this year.

There’s a bit more on the menu than last month — including kimchi fried rice and bibimbap. Recurring favorites like the potstickers and spicy pork are still there too. As always, all proceeds benefit the SHCRC.

For more info, call them on (509) 720-9646 or e-mail James at shinejds@gmail.com.

March 14, 2014 Emerson Garfield

Spokane Hope Christian Reformed Church (스포켄 소망교회) is holding one of its Korean food sales tomorrow (Saturday, March 15) from 11am to 2pm.

SHCRC shares a building with Knox Presbyterian Church (806 W Knox), which, as you might already know, is where the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market is held during market season.

This food event is held about twice a year and is a great chance to pick up some tasty and authentic Korean food — some of which is pictured above. The kimchi they sell is amazing. And all proceeds benefit the SHCRC.
