Recycling-Evite-Office_June 15 2013Mark your calendars: June 15th, from 10 am to 2 pm, Windermere R.E. / Mercer Island is hosting a FREE recycle event. We’re excited to be partnering again with 1 Green Planet and Confidential Data Disposal, Inc. to offer free recycling and on site document shredding to the local community. The following items will be accepted for recycling in our parking lot:

• Appliances – washers, dryers, refrigerators, etc.
• Electronics – televisions, stereos, etc.
• Scrap metal, machinery – circuit boards, etc.
• Computers (Secure data destruction) – PCs, laptops, printers,
monitors, etc.
• Batteries – car, computer, etc.
• Medical equipment
• Ink & toner
• Cell phones

There is a surcharge of $10 to $30 to recycle appliances through the county, and you have to take the items to a facility off-island— so our recycle event will save you both time and money. Start summer off in style by decluttering and recycling those items you no longer use!

In conjunction with the Recycle Event, we will be accepting donations to benefit Mercer Island Youth and Family Service (MIYFS). One of the many services MIYFS offers is Family Assistance to those in need of emergency assistance with basic necessities like rent, utilities and food assistance. 100% of all donations will go to MIYFS.

For information about recycling other items not mentioned in the list above, you can reach 1 Green Planet at (425) 996-3513 or via email.

Senior Couple In response to a recent survey conducted by the Senior Foundation of Mercer Island and Senior Advisory Board, the Aging on the Rock Forum will be held this Thursday, May 16th, 6:30-8:00 pm. The forum will be conducted at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center, located at 8234 SE 24th St.

The survey was mailed out across the island to find how Seniors feel about living in the Mercer Island community. Subjects touched on in the survey include transportation, safety and quality of life issues. The results of the survey will be discussed during the forum. In addition, it is hoped that those in attendance will help continue the discussion of happy and healthy aging on Mercer Island – what services are still needed to help accomplish that goal?

All ages are welcomed and encouraged to attend. If you have questions about the event, or need a ride, please call (206) 232-4597.

QA Historical Tour Poster Windermere agent, Nicole Demers-Changelo, is hosting a monthly Historical Walking Tour in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. The theme of the tour is Real Estate Speculation and Architectural Innovation within Queen Anne. Nicole states, “In particular, we will review the evolution of real estate ventures and architectural approaches from the late 1800′s to the present.”

Nicole is able to present a unique perspective to this tour, as she is also an architect. She began her career drafting and designing spaces. She is also immersed in the history of various architecture and has spent much time researching the lovely historical character which embodies the Queen Anne community.

The tours are scheduled for the first Sunday of the month May to September, beginning at 10 am. You will need to reserve a spot on the tour by calling 206-271-1267, or sending an email to andition@windermere.com. Also, a minimum tax-deductible $20 donation is recommended, with the proceeds benefiting 3 Queen Anne nonprofit organizations. Payment can be a check made out directly to the benefiting non-profit, or cash. Tour meet up spot is Kerry Park, 211 W. Highland Drive. The tours are approximately an hour and a half long; the walking distance is less than two miles. Dress for the weather – tours will occur rain or shine!

The May 5th and Aug 4th tours benefits the Bayview Intergenerational Childcare, “which harnesses the excitement of youthful exploration to provide a place for growth and learning; children develop a positive attitude towards age and disability from frequent interaction with the residents of Bayview.”

The June 2nd and September 1st tours benefits Beginnings School, “which provides a place for children to develop intellectually, emotionally, and physically through social interaction and individual exploration.”

The July 7th tour benefits Queen Anne Historical Society, “which has the goal of preserving the historic heritage of the Queen Anne community.”

If you would like to participate in a tour, but have little ones and need to use a stroller, Nicole is coordinating abbreviated tours with Twirl Cafe. Check their calendar for details.
