Dear Editor, '

Prior to the American Legion Grand Parade on July 18, West Seattle Hi-Yu hosted a breakfast for visiting royalty from other summer festivals around the Puget Sound. Miss Seafair, her court and candidates, Seafair volunteers, Seafair Clowns, and many other volunteers, were also welcomed guests. The morning reception would not have been possible without the generosity of many West Seattle businesses.

Once again, Merrill Gardens at Admiral Heights opened their lovely home to us. Colleen Barnes helped with the set up and the organization in the residence. Jack Miller of Husky Deli gave a lovely fresh fruit tray, which was as colorful as it was scrumptious.

Zatz Bagels provided an assortment of fresh bagels, and Sarah at Alki Bakery donated a variety of baked goods. Mark Brown, of Seattle’s Best Coffee, arranged and delivered coffee and condiments.

Alicia and Tjaden of The Great Harvest Bread Company made their mini cinnamon rolls, which were delicious as always. Morgan Street Thriftway generously donated a gift card, which was used to purchase yogurt, water and juice.

Hi-Yu would like to publicly acknowledge the generosity of these businesses. Thank you for your continual support of West Seattle Hi-Yu. Your community spirit is remarkable!
