the 40 plus years Ive lived in Mount Baker, Ive see n major changesthe neighborhood. Mount Baker Community Club too has gone

rough ups and downs and has emerged as the vibrant neighbor-od center it is today. We offer a range of activities for children, resi-nts interested in civic issues and community improvement, andople who want to meet and hang out with neighbors.

e hope you know that you are already a member of the Mountker Community Club. Everyone who lives, works or goes to

hool in Mount Baker has automatic membership. But what doesmeans to be a member? It means you can:

Tis is your club. Your participation and support keep it relevantand growing. Consider attending a monthly meeting, joining acommittee, becoming a board member or volunteering at events.And if the Community Club is important to you, please considerdonating to the annual fund or the capital campaign.

I want to share with you why I participate in the Annual GivingFund for the Community Clubhouse: I want a brick and mortar

venue, a real place, where I can gather with my community. I valuehaving a neighborhood spot where we can share ideas. Te MBCCis a convenient and beautiful venue for all kinds of civic, social, andcommunity activity.

Earlier this year aferTe New Yorkermagazine published an ar-ticle describing in terrifying detail what Seattleites will experi-ence when the next big earthquake hits, cries of We need moreinformation quickly spread through our Mount Baker commu-nity. Neighbors posted their concerns on www.NextDoor.comwondering, How do we protect ourselves? and What concretesteps do I need to take? Several online posts urged MBCC tohold a meeting.

We agreed, and one month later the Club hosted a meeting on emer-gency preparedness with the Seattle Office of Emergency Manage-

ment. More than 60 community members attended. In times of trou-ble, there is comfort in numbers. I am grateful that MBCC provided

an outstanding venue on shortnotice and free of charge.

Tis community venue requiresdonations to keep it going: fundsto keep the lights on, to pay forthe part-time staffmembers andthe ability to host free neighbor-hood events. For example, therecent Day in the Park broughtalmost 500 people to our MountBaker playground, and it was100% free!

MIND THE GAP: A MOUNT BAKER ART INSTALLATIONBy Noah Jeppson, Owner of JeppsonEGD

RECIPE: MAMAS EASIEST SQUASH SOUPBy Elissa Arnheim, Health Coach, (360) 417-8051

CHECK OUT THE SCENE ON 31STAVENUEBy Julia Janak

KIDS, GET READY TO ROCK!y Erin Bruce

Many Mount Baker residents may be unaware of our neighbor-

hoods rich history. As part of the Seattle Design Festival this past

fall, Mount Baker resident and designer, Noah Jeppson temporarily

transformed the pedestrian overpass (at Martin Luther King Way

South and Rainier Avenue South) into an outdoor gallery of inspi-

rational neighborhood stories.

For two weeks Noahs installation, entitled Mind the Gap,

explored a literal bridge connecting historic Mount Baker to theurban development around the light rail station. Te installation

also addressed equity gaps in accessibility, infrastructure, and cul-

ture that frequently follow transit-oriented development in historic

neighborhoods.

Colorful signage and paint welcomed pedestrians and cyclists

onto the bridge, reinforcing the Olmsted Plan for interconnected

parks and boulevards. Stories included that of Brice Taylor, Afri-

can American/Native American football star from Franklin HighSchool who later became the University of Southern Californiasrst All-American football player in 1925, and rst African-Amer-

ican head coach at any Los Angeles high school. Taylor achieved

all his success despite being an orphan born without a lefhand!

Tis design installation was partially funded by grants frSafe Routes to School and the Seattle Office of Arts an

Neighborhood stories were discovered during the recen

Baker: Great Heights neighborhood identity project.

Its cold and wet out there! Come inside and have a big bowl of

rich, nourishing, delicious squash soup! Rich in vitamins,ber and

healthy fats, this soup is a great choice for anyone making a healthy

shif in their diet, and especially pregnant and nursing mamas to

support babys healthy nerve development. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 medium butternut (or 2 acorn) squash

2 cups vegetable broth (or 1 bouillon cube with 2 cups water)

1 14-oz can coconut milk

STEP 1: Bake the squash. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place entire

squash(es) on a shallow baking dish and bake 45-50 minutes, or

until easily pierced by a fork. Carefully cut open squash, discard

seeds (or roast them as a snack) and remove esh. Squa

refrigerated for several days.

STEP 2: Simmer vegetable broth and squash in a soup

puree with an immersion blender.

STEP 3: Add coconut milk and stir.

VARIATIONS: Add fresh or dry thyme, sauted diced o

apple, nutmeg

To make a super-satisfying lunch: throw a handful of

kale, lefover rice or quinoa into the soup. Eat with a side

nut/seed butter on apple slices.
