Just seen on the Beacon Arts website…

What: Free showing of  We Are Not Ghosts.
A local reviewer says it best:
"We Are Not Ghosts comes not to bury Detroit, but to praise the resilient people who are giving the city new life through creative, empathetic community involvement. More than fresh vegetables are available in the community garden and public farmers' market; hopes for the future grow here too. Part of this engaging film's power comes from its depiction of cross-generational community action; we see youth, families, and neighbors working together. Elders such as Grace Lee Boggs and younger community activists and artists such as Myrtle Thompson Curtis and Jessica Care Moore share wisdom and a kind of tenacious optimism that viewers will find inspiring."
Zola Mumford, Curator, Langston Hughes African American Film Festival


When: Friday, February 20. 7:00 pm - Doors open at 6:15 and the Motown will be playing!  Come early and dance!

Where: Garden House (2336 15th Ave S. across from the Shell Station), which is served by METRO # 36 and 60 and is 2 blocks north of the Beacon Hill Light Rail Station. 

Why: Free movie, popcorn, and community. Plus a chance to meet the film makers Mark Dworkin and Melissa Young.

Not to toot our own horn but the Beacon Hill Garden Club has won an award from the WA State Federation of Garden Clubs. You may remember "Beacon, A Hill of Beans" with beautiful pots of beans all up and down Beacon Avenue in 2013. That project earned us a third place in civic development. Not too shabby. Our club wanted to recognize Christina Olson for coming up with the idea and spending most of the summer watering all those pots. She was granted the title of "Queen Bean" with a lovely craft project by Betty Jean.
