Sep 17th SEATTLE - benefit for Zimbabwe kids

BlueTree.org is sponsoring a special evening at the Taproot Theatre to support a recently demolished community in Zimbabwe. The situation there is dire and these people need help much more so than the folks in New Orleans who are receiving massive aid from the US Government and non-profit agencies (albeit too slowly).

So please support this worthwhile cause and come together Sep 17th for a wonderful evening featuring various forms of art...

New video

A very informative (albeit not completely finished) video about water issues in Haiti is now available at www.bluetree.org/video (cwh-talking.mp4).

It's about 45mb though, so BROADBAND is needed and I suggest you "right click, save target as" to copy it to your computer.

New non-profit coffeeshop in Seattle/Greenwood

If you live anywhere in the NW Seattle area, I highly recommend you check out the "Green Bean" right on 85th/Greenwood next to the theatre and across from Gorditos.
