Bunko Ladies Rock!


Last night was the first of two Bunko parties.
I've never played Bunko, but it must be a blast.
Forty-eight lovely ladies, eating and drinking and playing games. The outcome is support for our work with homeless women.
Second round this Sunday night.

Bailey Gatzert



Bailey Gatzert was the first (and only) Jewish mayor of the City of Seattle. Everyone needs a historic tidbit every day.

My office looks out on Gatzert Elementary. It is a Seattle school that serves homeless children.

Why hasn't Nightwatch plugged in over there?

Duh.

Car problem solved



It seemed like a joke.

Here's the line of homeless folks going into Operation Nightwatch at 9 p.m. The woman in the Mercedes parked next to them needed a jump start.

The Nightwatch minister has the jumper cables and the live battery.

Needless to say, we had lots of advice and help.

Despite that, we got her going. Rick
