We recently shared news that the Tollgate Farmstead project has received the John D. Spellman Award for Exemplary Achievement in Historic Preservation. King County TV has produced a video showcasing the project. As this video highlights, the future of this historic site is bright, and ready for new community agricultural programs! We'll have our summer activity guide ready and delivered by first week or April, ahead of the highly anticipated April 5th summer camp registration opening, including activities at Tollgate Farm Park.

Last month we experienced weather extremes that have many of us looking forward to Spring. When inclement weather does necessitate facility closures, our website is the most reliable resource for updates on status of programs. As long as our facilities are open, you can count on fun Si View activities to keep you and your family active and entertained. Our recent family Bingo Night was a smashing hit with lots of great prizes and exciting times for all! Be sure to save the dates for upcoming family events noted later in this issue.

See you at local parks!

Do you love the local farmers market scene? Would you consider spending some time helping out on market days during the upcoming season? If you are excited about food, sustainability, meeting new people, and supporting local events, we'd love for you to join our market family as a volunteer! 

The Farmers Market takes place on Thursdays from June 6th to Sept 12th at Si View Park. The market is open to the public from 4-8pm, with volunteer shifts available anywhere from 3pm-8:30pm. Volunteers commit to a minimum of four market days over the 14-week season, and one training session prior to season-opening.

The primary role of volunteers is greeting market guests, sharing market information and activities, tracking attendance, and assisting with set-up or take down. We truly aim to have fun and make the market an amazing experience for everyone!

For more details about the NB Farmers Market, check out the 2023 North Bend Farmers Market Year in Review. Volunteer applications will open on February 14th. For questions, please reach out to Jill Rittenhouse. We look forward to seeing you at the Market!

We are getting ready for summer season! If you are interested in taking swim lessons this summer, please take our scheduling survey by February 15th. Your input will guide our decision-making process on the times of the day and length of the sessions preferred. We understand many families have busy summer seasons with a variety of activities, vacations and other commitments. Our goal is to structure swim lessons in a way that works for most families. Registration for summer swim lessons will open on Wednesday, May 22. Thanks for your input!

What is parkrun? It is a free community event where you can walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate. parkrun is a weekly 5k in a positive, welcoming and inclusive setting, with no time limit and where no one finishes last. Everyone is welcome to come along! There are currently 65 parkrun locations nationwide. Si View is working with a local parkrun representative to bring a recurring event to one of our local parks. Parkrun is completely volunteer-led and currently seeking folks who are interested in lending a hand to get the event started in our community. Interested in learning more? For more information, visit the local parkrun Facebook page or contact the representative by email.

Let's go walking! This month both the Walking Club and Stroller Striders resume regular outings at local parks.
