The Mill Creek Parks and Recreation Division is looking forward to an exciting year in 2010. Many popular community events are planned such as the Eggstravaganza Egg Hunt, Children’s Concerts, Halloween Trunk or Treat, and the Winter Tree Lighting Ceremony. Funding for these popular events comes solely from the generous support of the businesses in our community.

The City’s special event budget in 2010 is $9,000, in addition to in-kind donations. We need your help and ask that you consider supporting these worthwhile community events with a donation.

We sincerely appreciate the businesses and organizations that sponsor these community events and make every effort to recognize their support. A professional banner listing all of the Gold and Silver Sponsors will be displayed at all events, providing extended year-long recognition. All sponsors will receive a 2010 window cling to display at their place of business throughout the year identifying them as a valued Community Sponsor.

The City of Mill Creek has established 501(c)(3) non profit status through a partnership with the Northwest Parks Foundation. Your tax deductible donations to support these special events can be made by going to the NW Parks Foundation web site (nwparks.org) and selecting the Donate Now option, with the fund Mill Creek Special Events/Parks selected. You may also donate by check — made payable to "Northwest Parks Foundation" designate Park Safety Net Fund for Mill Creek Special Events and mail to: Park Safety Net Fund, Northwest Parks Foundation, PO Box 605, Woodinville, WA 98072-0605. The NW Parks Foundation charges the City a small administrative fee for the 501(c)(3) service, so if you do not need the tax deduction and want to make your donation directly to the City, checks can be made payable to the City of Mill Creek and mailed to the attention of Pam Olson, at City of Mill Creek, 15728 Main Street, Mill Creek, Washington 98012.

We would like to have all of the sponsors identified by the end of February so we can order the 2010 banner and have it in time to display at the first event — the Eggstravaganza Egg Hunt. Thank you so much for your consideration. If you have any questions, please call Pam Olson, Recreation Supervisor, at (425) 921-5737.
