New Green Lents Community Tool Library

Expected to open in 2012!


Show your support by signing up today to be one of the FIRST members of the Green Lents Community Tool Library - it's FREE!
Green Lents is working to open a Community Tool Library in the Lents Town Center that will serve the Lents and surrounding neighborhoods. Lents, Powellhurst-Gilbert, Pleasant Valley, Mt. Scott-Arleta, Brentwood-Darlington, and Foster-Powell neighborhood residents are eligible to become library members to check out tools for free when the Community Tool Library opens

In addition to tool lending, the Green Lents Community Tool Library will be a space for sharing community knowledge, hosting workshops and meetings, accessing information about local resources and housing both a "do-it-yourself" book library AND a seed-swap library.

Starting a tool library takes money, time and ...tools! Visit Green Lents' Blog to see how you can get involved to help get this tool library started!

Newsletter Story Submission Deadline

Mt. Scott-Arleta Neighborhood Association Newsletter Story Submission We want to know what's going on in your neighborhood. Do you have news to share? Would you like to see it published on the blog and in our newsletter? Here's how to get the word out... Deadline : Feb 26th (but sooner the better!) EMAIL story/announcement to this email note: Ideally we'd like to include more information in the newsletter, versus a bunch of presentations at our meeting. We hope that this will clear up some room in our agenda, so we can focus on 'getting things done' and getting to know one another on a personal level. (More people receive the newsletter than come to the neighborhood meetings.) Of course we will still have announcements and presentations, but hopefully we can streamline the effort with using the newsletter as an additional tool. And please (!) let me know if you are interested in helping with this communications effort. Thanks, Terah Beth  | visit Mt. Scott...
