On the Cheap Part II

When I was writing the first "On the Cheap" post, I completely forgot about all the workshops that the Department of Neighborhoods is putting on this winter. They're all held at Seattle Central Community College (1701 Broadway) in Room 3211 -RSVP Wendy Watson (wendy dot watson at seattle dot gov) if you'd like to attend. The workshops are free and super useful, so reserve your spot before they're all gone

The Dept. of Neighborhoods is also hosting one more Large Projects Fund (aka Neighborhood Matching Fund) Technical Assistance Workshop on January 22nd from 6-7:30pm at Yesler Community Center (917 E Yesler Way). This is an essential class if you, like me, are going to be involved in the Neighborhood Matching Fund application process any time soon.
