Celebrate Kirkland, the community group that puts on the annual 4th of July parade and festivities, is “struggling with fundraising this year” and is asking for donations, organization leaders said through an e-mail sent out to the community last week.

The group is also still looking to fill a number of volunteer positions. For more information, see the group’s Web site at www.celebratekirkland.org or contact Penny Sweet at pennysweet@verizon.net.
