<--super awesome ramp builders
Kirkland resident Alice Lepofsky is a two year old with Spinal Muscular Dystrophy Type II and is unable to walk, crawl or roll over. This past weekend she was the lucky recipient of a free ramp from the Master Builder Association's Rampathon volunteers from Kitchen Plus and was visited by City Councilwoman Shelly Kloba. Kudos to all of those that came together for little Alice.
Then at sea....Carillon Point Marina is celebrating National Marina Day from 11am to 3pm on Saturday, June 13th. Here are some great offerings to get you ready for this summer:
