07/02/04 Northeast Seattle To Be Featured In History House's Neighborhood Community Focus Series Seattle Neighborhood Community Focus: Northeast Seattle History House of Greater Seattle is looking for participants from Northeast Seattle neighborhoods to share their rich and textured history with the city's community-at-large. November 6th, 2004 through January 30th, 2005. Wed-Sun from Noon to 5pm at History House of Greater Seattle. History House of Greater Seattle is pleased to announce that the neighborhoods of Northeast Seattle will be the next in a series of communities whose history will be extensively explored in our Neighborhood Community Focus Program. We hope the neighborhoods of Lake City, Belvedere Terrace, Cedar Park, Hawthorne Hills, Matthews Beach, Meadowbrook, Olympic Hills, Victory Heights, Bryant, Laurelhurst, Ravenna, Roosevelt, Sand Point, View Ridge, Wedgwood, Inverness, Windermere and the University District will all be represented. Previous participants include the Central Area, North Central Seattle and Southwest Seattle, our current exhibit. We have had from 30 to 50+ participants for these exhibitions. This is a collaborative effort. History House, located in Fremont, intends to bring together a mixture of Northeast Seattle participants representing neighborhood individuals or business, church, school and community organizations. They will assemble and present their individual stories for an exhibit in the warm, family atmosphere of the Neighborhood Hall at History House. Northeast Seattle's contributions to the city in categories such as art, music, sports and politics should be included. Captioned photos, electronic slide shows, and vhs and dvd video presentations are all possible methods of presentation. To launch this three-month exhibition, an Open House is scheduled for Saturday, November 6th from 2pm to 4pm with a short ceremony at 2:30pm. The program will include a brief history of Northeast Seattle, an introduction of the displays, recognition of participating groups and individuals, refreshments and live music. The event will be open to the public and free of charge. Northeast Seattle we need your help. Representatives from History House are available to help guide you through the process of telling YOUR story YOUR way. We have a participant's packet that includes lots of ideas and information about creating a display. Please contact us so we can get started on the fun and satisfying experience of telling Northeast Seattle's story. History House of Greater Seattle is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.
