Fifty volunteers recently spent a cold morning at Cotton Hill Park clipping blackberries and digging roots out of muddy ground.

When break time arrived, they were treated to “snack sacks” donated by Sasi’s Cafe. Each sack contained a cup of delicious soup, a slice of crusty bread, and a gourmet cookie.

Cafe owner Roland Oberholzer says the cafe, currently located at the Central Park Tennis Club at 12630 N.E. 59th Street, will soon relocate to the new Kirkland Market on Lake Street in downtown Kirkland.
