Richard Zwicker is Renton’s newest Councilmember!

2008 Written by Randy Corman

Richard Zwicker, from our North Renton neighborhood, was appointed to the vacant city council seat tonight.

He has been active in the leadership of his neighborhood, serving as president of the Neighborhood Association and in many volunteer projects.

He has also served on the board of Renton Technical College, and in numerous other community and civic organizations.

Rich was one of two out of the eleven applicants who has run for council before, having run for the seat currently held by Marcie Palmer in 2003.

I’ll write a more comprehensive bio when I have a bit more time.

Meanwhile, please help me in wishing Rich well in his new role.

Thanks,

Randy

Armondo’s dishes out help for the homeless

There is a really nice column about Renton’s Way Back Inn,  and local restauranteur Armondo Pavone, in todays Seattle PI.

They are working together to prevent homelessness, and get families back on their feet.

Here is the link to the story:

Armondo’s dishes out help for the homeless

And you can help by eating at Armondos, or ordering take-out, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday, and a portion of the proceeds from that day will benefit the Way Back Inn and HOME/ARISE.

Council appointment will be tonight!….

Tonight is the night we appoint a new councilmember! If you want to learn the choice in real time, you can watch the meeting starting at 7:00 on channel 21 (or be at city hall in person).

The agenda is long tonight, so the appointment may be a while into the agenda.

It will be fun identitying the new council member, and having a full council again. I again thank all applicants for throwing their names into the ring.

(For background on this topic, including the list of applicants, click on the “council appointment” link below.)

Best Wishes,

Randy
