An Opportunity for You
There are many ways that you can support Heron Habitat Helpers. A
gift of time, talent or funds will help HHH advance its efforts to
restore and enhance Kiwanis Ravine. Because HHH is an all-volunteer, non-profit
group, all monetary contributions directly support conservation
initiatives, educational programs and outreach efforts.
HHH is an IRS 501(c)(3) organization under the umbrella of the Associated Recreational Council (ARC)(Bill Keller, Executive Director), 100 Dexter Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109-5102, 206-684-7083, bill.keller@seattle.gov, www.arc.org, IRS #51-0170717.
