Oct 22 - 3:30 p.m. - Sunset Meet and Greet at the Beautiful Lake Sammamish Bathhouse

Come join us for appetizers, wine and music and learn how to be part of something extraordinary - the new all-access playground to be built in 2016 near the beautiful new Sunset Beach Bathhouse.

Many of you may not realize that Lake Sammamish State Park has been annexed in to the City of Issaquah as of this February.  While it remains a state park, becoming part of Issaquah’s official footprint means we get to embrace it as our waterfront, invest in it, have a say in what transpires at the park and to help keep it safe for all users.  Very few communities have such a waterfront treasure and beautiful park asset as Lake Sammamish.

For this reason, the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce is encouraging the public to get involved and help make a difference now, and well into the future. Support Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park as they spearhead the fund drive for the $250,000 to add to the $750,000 the State has already committed for this best-in-state playground.

Typically, the Chamber does not engage in such fundraising initiatives, but in this instance, it’s so important we felt we couldn’t sit idle on the sidelines and not help.  The Chamber is pleased to support a meet and greet/fundraiser on Thursday October 22nd from 3:30 to 5:30 pm at the new Lake Sammamish State Park bathhouse to support the construction of a new playground structure this coming spring, 2016.

A $1000 donation will have your name placed on a boulder containing names of special donors. Donations may be sent to FLSSP (Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park), P. O. Box 605, Issaquah, WA 98027.

Thank you!
