The Scroll Down - May 2008
Last updated by sallen on 05/05/2008 10:59 PM (Read: 47 times)
So has it been a while since I updated the Scroll Down? Has winter finally ended? Business have opened, changed names and some are closing. Thank Goodness the ferry system has gotten through the worse of their maintenance woes, hopefully.
Even when I’m not writing here I’m writing something somewhere on the websites that make up VashonPages.com. I’m happy to say that VashonCalendar.org is now providing information on what’s going on around Vashon Island. A lot of work has been going into VashonMusic.com, VashonArt.com and VashonClubs.com. Now that all the sites are up and running with content they resemble the sections of a magazine, full of information about Vashon Island, from Bands to Businesses, you can find it all here.
What has been going on since the last Scroll Down? Bishops is now The Red Bicycle Bistro, there is a new Indian Restaurant where in the center of town at the Vsahon Landing Building. John Dough’s Pizza has been sold again and is now named Vashon Pizza. Lost and Found is open in their new Burton Location next to the Burton Post Office and Sadly Old and Funqui is closing their doors.
Will the old K2 building become our new civic center? That’s just one of the debates in community planning. The building has already been used for the PTSA auction at the begging of the month and will be used again for the Voice of Vashon’s, Quake, Rattle & Roll Sock Hop May 31st, starting at 7pm. Donation is $10. You can purchase tickets at the Vashon Book Shop and at Books By The Way. The fundraiser, sponsored by the Vashon Rotary and VashonBePrepared will help the Voice of Vashon get a third radio tower so that all islanders can tune to 1650 AM during an emergency to get information and assistance. There will be food, music from the 50s and 60s, games, prizes and entertainment for the whole family. See you there!
The month of May started with the Spring Vashon Island Artist Studio Tour Click on the test link to take the tour. And at the end of the month Vashon Allied Arts has its annual Art Sale. Collectors Choice Art Sale. Come early for one of Blue Heron Gallery’s fabulous and fun art sales. Reminiscent of last year’s Archives Art Sale, which featured works by Island artists, this year’s sale presents works donated by passionate Island art collectors. It’s happening at Blue Heron Gallery May 30 and 31, and June 1. From Friday evening until Sunday afternoon, a number of Vashon’s most discriminating art collectors(and a few off-island ones, too) will contribute works of art of every kind for sale to our members and friends. Come and check it out! Don’t forget to click into the VAA website.
That’s the scroll down.
