Public hearing set for redistricting
The King County Districting Committee, which will redraw the boundaries of the county’s Council districts and reduce the number from 13 to nine, has scheduled a public hearing 6 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 5, at Lake Forest Park Council Chambers, 17425 Ballinger Way NE.
Family fire safety classes offered
Children under the age of eight are the most at risk for injury or death in house fires. Does your family have an escape plan — and do your children know what to do if the smoke alarm goes off? The Shoreline Fire Department offers presentations on Family Fire Safety to school, church, scouting and community groups. Make a resolution to be safe at home in 2005. For more information, call 206-533-6500 and ask for community education.Â
Shuttle needs volunteers
What would you do if you were unable to drive a car, could not take the bus, and needed to run errands such as food shopping and banking? Senior Services Transportation Program provides a solution: the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Shuttle.
The shuttle transports seniors from their homes to the senior center and local destinations such as medical offices and grocery stores. Solely driven by volunteers, many seniors rely on this free service to help them stay healthy and independent. To sustain this valuable service, Senior Services needs more volunteer drivers.
The shuttle runs weekdays and volunteers choose the shifts they wish to drive. No lifting or bearing of weight is involved and drivers do not need a special driver’s license. Volunteer drivers must be over 25 years old, hold a valid driver’s license, and have no at-fault accidents during the past three years. Free training is provided.
For more information, call the shuttle manager at 206-727-6262 or apply online at www.seniorservices.org.
