You are invited to join Play Reading at Wallingford Community Senior Center on Mondays from 2:30 – 4:00 PM. Play Reading is open to the greater community and free. It’s a fun and stimulating chance to interact with others as the group encounters a play together.

Why play reading?  Molly B, a play reader, answers:

“When you read a play out loud, you have the chance to enter into a character’s perspective. You can behave as they do without feeling responsible for the character’s actions.” 

“Plays are generally written for a mature audience, so they are rich with life experience …

The last two years have isolated so many of us from our neighbors. Night Out is an excuse to invite the neighbors on your block to come together for an hour or so to visit and reconnect. Next Tuesday evening is the designated time. You can publicize your event with flyers to homes and posters on telephone poles.

Some blocks do something simple. One or two families haul out a table and chairs in the front yard and visit with whichever neighbors come by to chat. Other blocks get elaborate and move out into the street. The Seattle Police Department …

We had a great time meeting all of you on Murphy’s Wednesday night at the first “post”-pandemic Wallyhood Mix & Mingle. Wonderful to see familiar faces and meet new neighbors. We love knowing how people read the blog, what topics you like and hear new neighborhood stories.

We were also happy to see avid blog reader and our own District 4 Councilmember, Alex Pedersen. Thanks for stopping, by Alex!

Please keep the feedback and ideas coming!

And a recent tour of Wallingford’s Good Shepherd Center and Meridian Playground further cemented this rejection of complacency. Throughout the tour our group was reminded that the existence of these parks, and specifically this beautiful building and accompanying playground, did not happen easily or overnight. Through the stained-glass windows of the chapel and among …

We hope to see you there!

6pm-8pm — Come share your neighborhood gossip, pester the writers with story ideas, consider writing a story or two yourself or jumping in as an editor!

We can’t wait to see the neighborhood for a mid-summer hang and maybe even some heated dialogue about RV parking and outdoor cats!
