There are two ceremonies planned Monday in Magnolia for Memorial Day. The first is at 10a.m. at the Post Office in The Village at 3211 W McGraw St.
Right after that there will be a service at the Fort Lawton Cemetery in Discovery Park (just past the visitor center at 39801 Government Way) sponsored by the American Legion Post 123. It will start a little before 11a.m. For additional information call 206-909-6853.
We also got a note from Nancy who wanted to put the word out to anyone who is looking for a project on Memorial Day.
The Vietnam Memorial on the island in the parking lot shared by the Magnolia Community Center and the Catharine Blaine School on 34th Ave West is once again in desperate need of weeding. We had a small turnout last Memorial Day in the pouring rain and I?m hoping some folks might help out again. Anyone who wants to help should just bring their favorite weeding tools and a bag to carry the weeds home to a yard waste bin. Its mostly grass and clover with some pesky dandelions. There is not set time, just come when you can and work as long as you want. There is always more to do!
