Your support is directed specifically toward need-based financial aid. We all benefit by ensuring that Providence is financially accessible to a wide group of families, and your contribution to this effort is much appreciated. This year’s auction theme, “Awakening Wonder,” resonates with classical, Christian education. A primary goal at Providence is to encourage and inspire students to think beyond themselves, to marvel at not only God’s creation, but to marvel at the holiness of God. All of learning culminates in a person: Jesus Christ. In Him all things cohere (Colossians 1:17); In Him we find truth and a path to the Father (John 14:6); in Him we live, and move, and have our being (Acts 17:28). To awaken wonder is to teach in a way that allows the student to see God’s truth in all reality, to see beyond the material, and to meditate on the higher things.

[email protected] (206) 324-1126 ext. 150 SEATTLE’S MUSEUM OF HISTORY & INDUSTRY PRESENTS EDIBLE CITY: A DELICIOUS JOURNEY New exhibition reveals Seattle’s culinary history from raw ingredients to polished plates Edible City: A Delicious Journey November 19, 2016 – September 10, 2017 SEATTLE, WA – In Seattle, food has always meant more than a meal. The city’s journey from the earliest oyster middens to the modern four-star restaurants is a reflection of Seattle’s geography, history, and people. Edible City: A Delicious Journey, organized by Seattle’s Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) and on view Nov 19, 2016 – Sept 10, 2017, serves up the story of how Seattleites eat in their city and how urban palates have developed over the years. Curated by two-time James Beard Award winning food writer Rebekah Denn, Edible City uncovers the secret history of Seattle’s favorite foods. You’ll learn the origins of the Rainier cherry, view the recipe that inspired the phenomenal Cinnabon, see treasures from the long history of Pike Place Market, get acquainted with the man behind the city’s first sushi bar, and debate Seattle’s signature dishes. Our displays include items close to the city’s heart and histories, from Seattle’s first espresso cart to the tools of the former Sagamiya bakery.

  • The Best of Seattle
    03 541277 Ch01.qxd 11/17/03 9:37 AM Page 3 1 The Best of Seattle Imagine yourself sitting in a park on the Seattle waterfront, a double-tall latte and an almond croissant close at hand. The snowy peaks of the Olympic Moun- tains are shimmering on the far side of Puget Sound, and the ferryboats are com- ing and going across Elliott Bay. It’s a summer day, and the sun is shining. (Hey, as long as we’re dreaming, why not dream big?) It just doesn’t get much better than this, unless of course you swap the latte for a microbrew and catch a 9:30 summer sunset. No wonder people love this town so much. Okay, so the waterfront is as touristy as San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, but what a view! Seattle is a city of views, and the must-see vista is, of course, the panorama from the top of the Space Needle. With the 21st century in full swing, this image of the future looks decidedly mid-20th-century modern, but still, it’s hard to resist an expensive elevator ride in any city. And you can even take a monorail straight out of The Jetsons to get there (and pass right through the Frank Gehry–designed Experience Music Project en route). EMP, as the Experience Music Project has come to be known, is one of Seat- tle’s latest architectural oddities. Its swooping, multicolored, metal-skinned bulk rises at the foot of the Space Needle, proof that real 21st-century architecture looks nothing like the vision of the future people dreamed of when the Space Needle was built for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair.

Since 2002, they have been brewing some of the darn tastiest beer in the Pacific Northwest. Up until May of 2017 they were draft only, making Georgetown the largest draft only brewery in the US. They now produce several beers in cans, which are available in the back of the ballroom courtesy of Georgetown Brewing! In addition to being purveyors of a fine product, Manny and Roger are also incredible philanthropists, giving to a multitude of worthy causes. RMHC is near and dear to their hearts, and since 2006 they have been brewing a specialty beer called Bob’s Brown Ale, which is named after Bob Hirsch, a former Ronald McDonald House resident. The beer honors and celebrates Bob, and is released in a limited quantity on Bob’s birthday, May 14th. All proceeds from Bob’s Brown Ale benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Western Washington & Alaska. So far, the campaign has raised more than $800,000 for the House. Welcome! Thank you for being with us at the 29th annual Ronald McDonald House Charities Gala. We are really excited to join you tonight as the honorary chairs for this amazing event. Ronald McDonald House Charities has been close to our hearts at Georgetown for the past 12 years and we’re proud of our partnership.
