POTLUCK

The Grill Masters from the 1600 Block of South Olympian Way and crew will be cooking!

Free food and drinks are being served and this is a potluck event. To ensure all may partake bring your own special dish to share! All items are welcome: ice, drinks, chips, buns, hot dogs, burgers (meat or veggie), cups, plates, napkins, utensils, coal, or lighter fluid. We will have a veggie grill or two going too! If you don’t care to cook and want to share items to be cooked, that works too!

TALENT SHOW

Additional activities include a talent show featuring participants from the 2015 Westview STEAM Empowerment Camp and you are invited to perform too.

Acknowledgments of those community heroes who have made the camp successful for a third straight year will be a highlight of the festivities. T-shirts and other art items will be auctioned off with proceeds going to next year’s camp or other youth driven activities.

The West End Coalition held its annual event at the intersection of Mathewson and Greenwich with food, music, and socializing. In the meanwhile the Westview Community Organization held its annual event at the intersection of South Olympian and Waters with food and an art auction held by the children that participated in the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) summer camp. Firefighters, police, and elected officials dropped by to celebrate the evening with neighbors.
