Next month brings the return of a popular northeast Seattle event – NEST’s community dinner with Nancy Peal and friends.
The dinner is a fund-raiser for NEST – North East Seattle Together. It will be held Sunday, March 30, from 5-8 p.m.
Pearl – an international literary star – is being joined by a radio host who often interviews her, Steve Scher of KUOW public radio. Both live in northeast Seattle.
They will be talking about books-their current favorites and the ones that played 
a significant role in their lives.
Last year’s event, also featuring Pearl, filled the hall. More than 130 people, 24 volunteers and 18 business contributed, raising over $20,000 to support NEST, a local non-profit organization offering neighborhood support, enriching programs and trusted resources that enable aging northeast Seattle residents to remain in their homes and to engage meaningfully in our community.
This year’s community event, titled “NE Seattle Treasures”, is at Faith Lutheran Church, 8208 18th Ave. N.E.
Individual tickets to the dinner and program are $75.00, a portion of which will be tax deductible. To register online, go to the NEST website and click on the event image in the middle of page.
