Tonight's the night for civic engagement -- it's just a shame that we can't all clone ourselves and be everywhere at once. Sustainable Ballard, the Ballard Task Force on Homelessness and Hunger, and the East Ballard Community Association are all meeting tonight. See below for details:

Sustainable Ballard Potluck at Hilliard's Beers

Sustainable Ballard is hosting their first quarterly potluck tonight at Hilliard's on 1550 NW 49th St from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. What better place to have a potluck, right? Between the food, music and Ballard-made beer, it's sure to be a night of fun and good conversation. Guests are asked to bring a dish to share.

East Ballard Community Association

"What are them Ballard Greenway-things all about, anyway?"

Is that the question you find yourself asking? Then tonight is the night to inform yourself, as the East Ballard Community Association will be having a discussion about Ballard Greenways, and they'll have with them Seattle Department of Transportation's Doug Cox. Cox is the guru on the subject and can explain the whole plan with ease and eloquence -- so don't miss out.

Meeting is at 7:30 p.m. at St. Alphonsus School, 5816 15th Avenue NW.

Ballard Community Task Force on Homelessness and Hunger

Do you care about homelessness and hunger in Ballard? Or maybe you have concerns to address? Well, we have a task force for that. The Ballard Community Task Force on Homelessness and Hunger (say that in one breath) meets every month, and they'll be meeting tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Swedish Hospital Ballard, Main Entrance, Conf Rm B&C.
