Give the city parks department a piece of your mind

Sans Big Brother -- as if "reality TV" counts -- television is full of reruns. If you seek free dinner and an evening where you can "share your ideas for improving community through Seattle Parks" the Rainier Community Center is the place to be between 6 pm and 8 pm on Thursday, July 29.

Interim Superintendent Christopher Williams will be on hand so attendees can "let us know how to better respond to the recreational needs and desires of people in the Columbia City, Mount Baker and other Rainier Valley communities." Here's an idea of where the parks department puts off-leash dog parks in its pecking order: none of the pictures accompanying the flyer includes a dog denizen of Genesee Park.

Here's the deal: You know that the people lobbying on behalf of soccer, baseball, football, and ultimate Frisbee interests will attend and give their two cents. In a time of economic shortfall, competing interests end up going mano en mano for limited resources. If you care about protecting -- much-less expanding -- the Genesee Dog Park, it would be worth your time to attend.

Dinner starts at 6 pm; the discussion commences at 6:30 pm.

Free dinner and child care are provided... really.

The Rainier Community Center is located at 4600 38th Ave. S.
