Thank you-
Clean Sweep 2016 was a success!
Thanks to everyone who participated in our annual Clean Sweep event on Sunday June 5th. This is our 4th year partnering with Seattle Pridefest to kick-off Pride Month by making Capitol Hill's streets sparkle.
As you will see from our slideshow
of the event
, we had a blast cleaning up Capitol Hill!
200 Volunteers gathered at Cal Anderson Park for coffee and pastries sponsored by our local
Starbucks, and donned orange and green "I Am Capitol Hill" t-shirts before dispersing to scrub the streets. Big thanks to our "regular" volunteers from the
Elliot Bay Book Company
for keeping those registration lines short!
Huge thanks to our "Beautification Buff' Sponsor,
Recology Cleanscapes, for
sponsoring another year of Clean Sweep and hauling our bags of trash away!
Thanks again to our hard-working Clean Sweep volunteers, see you next year!

Movie Night at the Summit
Friday, June 24th at 7pm
Summit Building (420 E. Pike)
The Summit is hosting a showing of the movie, "My Prairie Home" which follows the transgender musician, Rae Spoon, on a musical tour throughout Canada. Rae thinks and talks about family, identity and faith. It is a beautiful and contemplative film.
We will be having a brief discussion afterwards (specifically around the terrible ways that communities of faith have and often continue to marginalize the LGBTQ+ community, plus thoughts on moving forward with more inclusivity, love and respect).
Snacks are provided and the event is completely free.

Students can customize their degree to fit one of several career pathways, including applied business accounting, entrepreneurship, office management, business processes, business analysis and applications/technical support. The program will train students in both interpersonal skills and the varied technical skills required in a business setting.
