Hi-Yu has promoted the West Seattle Community for over 79 years through summer festivals such as Summerfest, Seafair and other local events. This year we are combining the auction, coronation and White Rose Ceremony into an Annual Gala. The auction raises funds for our scholarship program to help the young women attending colleges. Also, financial support keeps the only community owned float visible in parades like the American Legion Parade, 4th of July Burien Parade and Seafair Torchlight. This year's theme is, Alki Deep - An Undersea Adventure, promoting the beauty and life beneath the waters of Puget Sound. Come see 2012 West Seattle Hi-Yu Queen, Kayli Schulz crown 2013 Queen, April Davis and induct her and her court, Junior Queen Madison Stanley-Jones, Princess Olivia Efird, Princess Emily Galvin, and Princess Winter Williams into the White Rose Ceremony. The ceremony used to be an event reserved for women and past court members only but this year, men will see it for the first time and be part of history. We encourage past court members to bring their scrapbooks to share their experiences and fond memories with new court members.

West Seattle Hi-Yu is looking for your button design. This year's theme is Alki Deep, An Undersea Adventure. If your design wins, you'll be participating in this summer's American Legion Parade (7/20) with the West Seattle Hi-Yu Court. Please bring your button drawings (2" diameter) to the General Meeting, Monday night (6:30 PM), February 4th at St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church, 3050 California Avenue SW. We will make a decision on the winning design later in the week.
Also, we are desperately short of volunteers for this year’s festival! It is time to begin float construction, enlisting business sponsors for the souvenir book, and procuring items for this year's coronation and auction night. We have a great Junior Court, with their families, and a small group of diehard volunteers, but we will not be able to continue preparation for the Summer Festival, if we don’t have more help. This is a great opportunity to fill some of our dreary winter nights & weekends working with other interesting & fun West Seattlelites. Please contact us if you are able to assist! |

We are desperately short of Volunteers for this year’s festival! It is time to begin float construction, enlisting business sponsors, award Senior Court Scholarships, and stage
the Spring Tea. We have a great Junior Court, their families, and a

preparation for the Summer Festival, if we don’t have more help. This
is a great opportunity to fill some of our dreary winter nights &
weekends working with other interesting & fun West Seattleites. It
is also a fun way to earn community service hours for school. Please contact us by email (info@westseattlehiyu.com) or on our Facebook page if you are able to help. Our next general meeting is February 4th at St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church, 3050 California Avenue SW. General meetings are always the first Monday of the month.

December provides many opportunities for our Hi-Yu Junior Court to
participate and provides numerous hours of community service assistance. On
Saturday, December 1st, the Jr court attended the Kiwanis
pancake breakfast where they sold the annual Hi-Yu glass blown red and
white ornaments and the souvenir Hi-Yu pin. Towards the end of the
breakfast the court assisted with drawing raffle winners for the Kiwanis
club. Marines were there also collecting unwrapped toys for Toys for
Tots.
That evening, December 1st, at 5:30 pm, they introduced themselves
to the community on the stage for the Annual Junction Tree Lighting.
They passed the role of "switch throwers" to a little boy and girl, who
were chosen from the audience, to light the junction tree. To see
photos of this event, please go to The WS Blog.
The following day, December 2nd and Dec 9th, the Junior
Court assisted at two events in the WS Junction. At the headquarters
they passed out candy canes to the community and across the street they
passed out stickers to all of the little ones waiting to see Santa. They
will also be volunteering this coming Sunday, December 16th. Santa
will be at City Mouse from 11 am - 3 pm. Donations are being asked to
suppport West Side Baby, WS Food bank and WS Helpline.
If you haven't already, please support Hi-Yu by purchasing a glass
blown ornament for $20.00. The funding helps support the construction of
our community float and other events through the year. |
