Progress on the Sammamish Rowing Association's (SRA) new boathouse is coming along! Here is an update from the association:

Two huge trucks laden with materials for the new boathouse rumbled down the path this morning, and the unloading crew quickly got to work. Four hours later, the job was done. The parts and pieces for our new boathouse structure were signed, sealed and delivered today!

Our amazing community of rowers, donors and volunteers got us to this stage. Generous people within our SRA community have already raised $1.5 million for the new boathouse project. Those vital early dollars paid for:

• design and engineering work
• permitting
• building site preparation
• wetland mitigation
• path and parking lot improvements
• the turn lane
• the foundation
• materials for the building

Completing the project will cost another $1.5 million, so we're already halfway there. Thank you for getting us this far.

One by one they counted - counted thousands of men, women and children with no place to call home.

The 32nd annual 'One Night Count,' organized by the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness, happened early this morning.

800 volunteers fanned out across 13 cities in King County, including Bothell, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Woodinville.

They looked for people living in tents, cars, city parks and on buses.

In total, 2,594 men, women and children had no place to live.

Above is a breakdown of the numbers from the coalition.

Organizers hope to send a strong message to Olympia - homeless services can't be cut.

Eastsiders, if you missed last weekend’s Eastside Vitality Health Fair at Overlake Hospital, here is another chance to get free information and screenings to help get on track for health and wellness for 2012.

Take advantage of the Redmond Health Fair at Swedish/Redmond that is scheduled for Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
