Safe Grad Night 2027 – How you can help

Graduation is a special milestone, not just for Vashon’s high school seniors, but for our whole community.

Each year, Safe Grad Night gives our graduating seniors a chance to celebrate together in a fun, safe, alcohol- and drug-free environment, helping keep our kids safe and off the roads on graduation night.

The Safe Grad Night volunteer committee is already hard at work planning a memorable celebration for the Class of 2027, and we could use your help! June may seem like a long way off, but we still have quite a bit of money to raise to make this special night happen!

Community donations are essential, and every contribution, large or small, makes a difference.

Safe Grad Night is a project of VARSA, and donations made through VARSA specifically for Safe Grad Night are tax-deductible.

Let’s come together to give Vashon’s Class of 2027 a graduation night they’ll always remember!

Indivisible Meeting: Activism advice (and Debby’s brownies!)

They say elections have consequences. The consequences of this November 3rd midterm election are largely defined by the consequences the country is facing now due to the 2024 presidential election!
Stop by Indivisible Vashon’s “What’s Next” monthly meeting on Wednesday, Nov 11 at 7pm at the Land Trust building. We will check in about the election results know by then, the opportunities and challenges we are likely to face and real actions we can take to create a government that works for more of us, like making Citizens United, the ruling that allows corporations to funnel unlimited amounts of cash into elections, irrelevant in Washington state!
Doors open at 6:30pm.  Debby’s brownies will be on offer! Stop by to learn how we can activate your activism.

Questions about septic systems answered

 Here on Vashon, keeping water clean is one of our major interests. Septic systems on the island take up a major responsibility to filter the used water, which then joins the groundwater or feeds into Puget Sound, creating the living address where clams, fish, and orcas put their feet in.

Join a community meeting with Public Health—Seattle & King County for important updates about septic systems on Vashon Island, including the Marine Recovery Area and a new septic self-check program. Meetings will be in-person at Vashon Library on June 18 at 4PM and virtually on June 26 at 5.30PM. Learn more and register at www.kingcounty.gov/MRA.

PSE WEATHERIZATION

Weatherization is the foundation of a home’s energy efficiency. It prevents the loss of warm or cool air through unseen leaks and seams. It’s an easy, cost-effective way to increase the comfort of your home while saving money and energy. Reducing energy use also helps the environment.

Puget Sound Energy has programs that support you in weatherizing your home by offering savings on insulation, air sealing and duct sealing. This support will help you keep the heat inside where you want it and stay warm all winter long.
