Well, it’s that time of year again. Time for me to beg and you to say yes to helping decorate Kirkland. This year should prove to be the most impressive we have ever had. I can’t begin to tell you how many hours David DeBois at Banner Bank has put in.

Everything is going to be so fabulous for our little ones and our shoppers. Anyone over 14 years of age is invited to help decorate Kirkland on Saturday, Nov. 17. We will meet for coffee and pastries at 8:30 a.m. in the main lobby at Merrill Gardens, 201 Kirkland Ave. At 9 a.m., volunteers will go out to decorate in groups of three to four. Around noon we will be nourished at Merrill Gardens with pasta from George’s and there will also be pizza and salad too.

Bring pliers, cutters, gloves, extension ladders, medium ladder, one large “A” frame ladder, gloves, warm clothing and for those of you with sensitive ears don’t forget the ear muffs.

On behalf of everyone in the Kirkland Downtown Association, let me say thank you in advance for always coming through. Kirkland has the very best citizens ever and I always get a little teary eyed when I think about how you always come through.

If you would like to join in on all this fun and get to know some of your neighbors better, email: pattyjustloveskirkland@kirkland.net
