Subject:                          NEST summer 2010 update!

 

 

Dear NEST supporter,                                                                       August 2010

                                                                               

SAVE THIS DATE: Sunday, Nov. 7!

 

Join Nancy Pearl, librarian extraordinaire, and NEST for a special fund-raising dinner and talk on Sunday November 7th, from 5 to 8 p.m.

 

 You'll be getting a personal invitation by e-mail from NEST soon, but mark your calendars now and invite your neighbors. Or if you want to sign up right now, go to our website, www.nestseattle.org.

 

 

We're also looking for table captains, table sponsors and volunteers to help us present Nancy at this dinner, held at Temple Beth Am and catered by the Sunflour Bakery Cafe. So far we have eight table captains and would love to have four more. Please e-mail us at info@nestseattle.org if you can help, or call Debbie Anderson at 206-525-6378.

 

Since we last wrote to you our successful fund raising has continued. NEST now has more than $30,000 in our HomeStreet Bank account. We'd like to thank the 29 new and seven repeat donors who have contributed so far this summer. We've also had a wonderful response from The Seattle Times article on us, "Grass-roots NEST to help elderly stay in home."

 

Please consider donating to NEST this summer to help us meet a challenge grant from the Horizons Foundation. When we meet the grant, we will have half of the funding we need to open in 2011.

 

We would love to have more community members join us on NEST's board to help launch our services. Please e-mail Jeanne Carpenter at info@nestseattle.org to discuss the possibilities. 

                                                                               
NEST IS: A "virtual village" designed to maintain our neighborhoods for all of us, including our older residents.  This model, pioneered in Boston almost 10 years ago, has been adopted in dozens of cities around the country. Our non-profit, North East Seattle Together (NEST), is the first Village in Seattle and was formed over a year ago. When we are fully launched we will provide seniors another way to remain in the homes and neighborhoods they love.

NEST is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization which will be supported primarily by membership dues.  We will serve 14 neighborhoods in northeast Seattle.

Yes, I would like to help launch NEST! Please complete this form and return with your check payable to NEST . Mail to  P.O. Box 51009,Seattle,WA 98115
