Only Four Weeks Until Election Day!!

Supportive Editorial in Issaquah Sammamish Reporter

King County Online Voter Registration Deadline is Today, March 19

You can register online at www.kingcounty.gov/elections/registration.aspx

Yard Signs

If you’re having trouble finding the right spots for your yard signs, please contact Suzanne Weaver atsgweav@comcast.net.  It’s important that all signs be in the ground, in visible locations, by this coming weekend.  If you have any extra signs, we’ll be happy to pick them up and place them for you.

Neighborhood Lit Drops

Next weekend is supposed to be the last weekend for the neighborhood literature drops.  However, the weather has been anything but conducive to this effort, so we are asking that you have your flyers distributed by March 31.  Ballots will be mailed March 28 so they will be arriving in mailboxes between March 29 and 31. If you are unable to distribute all of the flyers please return them to Betsy Cohen for redistribution to schools that need more.

Locations Needed for Large Signs

We are still looking for a visible location for a 4 X 8 sign.  If you have a location contact Lesley at 425-392-8122 or lesleyaustin50@gmail.com.

Listen Up

The Issaquah Valley PTA is planning a district-wide public event on Sunday April 1, to expand on the good will generated by Listen Up’s “Bond Song.” Look for an email from the IVE PTA President.  Contact Trish Neill at lestrish2000@yahoo.com <http://lestrish2000@yahoo.com for more information.

Fundraising

We’re coming down to the final stretch of the campaign, where the bulk of the spending occurs.  There’s still time to make a difference. Donations in any  amount are appreciated!  You can donate online at visvote.org <http://visvote.org/> .
