Tuesday, Oct. 21 League Office At this meeting we'll review some of the materials prepared for the Stakeholders' Viaduct Committee.

Start: 11:08 am
Thursday, Nov. 20 Park Shore Building Limited free parking is available on-site and along adjacent streets. The #11 bus stops within a half-block from Park Shore, and departs approximately two blocks from that building. Guest speakers from the Northwest chapter of the Congress of Residential Architecture (CORA) will discuss the Mayor's new Multi-Family Zoning Update that proposes what direction Seattle's residential development should take in the future. CORA Northwest is a grassroots group of roughly 100 local architects, designers and builders who want to improve the quality of residential design and develop better housing options. They share their interest with the public through presentations about the issues and policies that affect our own residences, as well as those being built next door, across the street and around the neighborhood. This information is particularly timely given the city's new ordinance that provides a process to update each Neighborhood Plan throughout the entire city during this year and 2009. Everyone is welcome! | ||

Thursday, Nov. 6 Seattle First Baptist Church What is the best way to raise the quality of child care, what is government’s role in the provision of early learning services to all children, what services are needed, who should provide them, and how do we pay for the costs of these services? At this forum, four speakers will address some of these questions. State Representative Ruth Kagi will talk about the changes in state government including the creation of the Department of Early Learning, the establishment of the Early Learning Council and the impact of the Washington Learns report. Nina Auerbach, the CEO of Child Care Resources, will report on the development of the quality rating improvement system (QRIS), which is designed to help providers improve their services and to help parents evaluate child care facilities. Stephan Blanford, the executive director of the White Center Early Learning Initiative, will describe one of the major community-based programs that provide a range of services to parents, children and child care providers. Bonnie Beukema, the deputy director of the League of Education Voters, will talk about the efforts to provide state funding for early care and educations services. | ||
