very ortunate to have many dedicatedvolunteers who work in the oce stu-

ing envelopes, doing data entry, stang

events throughout the year, and much

more. One o those volunteers, Valerie,

was instrumental in the huge success o

this years annual merchant campaign.

She contacted Market merchants, encour-

aging them to support the campaign

with their gits o $75 or more. These gits

were recognized by the red and green

banners that few high over Pike Place

and by the wreaths that were displayed

at participating Market businesses, which

were delivered by another dedicated

volunteer, Lynn. Following the holidays,

yet another enthusiastic volunteer,

Jane, rounded up all the wreaths and

organized everything to be ready or

next year. Thanks to Valerie, Lynn, Jane

and Market businesses or loving the

Market Foundation and raising just

over $8,000.

Our beloved piggies rom Pigs on

Parade were purchased by swine lovers

all over the country, bringing home

lots o bacon or the Market Founda-

tion (see story on page 3). One special

piggie, Pollack Pig was the beginning

o a love aair or Linda Sedgley. She

saw him on the sidewalk in ront o

the Alexis and swooned in delight.

Turns out that Pollack Pig brought

back ond memories or Linda o a

trip to the Museum o Modern Art in

NYC, and her rst glimpse at a Pollockpainting that brought her such joy she

was moved to tears. Lindas husband,

Rick, decided the pig was a perect

50th birthday git and began making

secret plans to make sure Pollack Pig

was theirs. Ater making the winning

bid on E-bay, Rick and their son Adam

(who happens to be a Pike Market

Preschool alum) loaded Pollack Pig in

a truck and made a grand tour o nos-

talgic places in Seattlethe amilys

ormer homes, the church they were

married in, special places Linda loved

and documented each in a photo. O

course, their last stop was the Market

or a photo o Pollack Pig alongsideher namesake, Rachel, the Market

piggie bank. Thoinks again to all

the pig lovers out there!

Donors say they love knowing

theyre supporting services or

low-income olks. Many new

donors included the Market

Foundation in their philanthropic

giving this year, and we welcome

them to our amily o donors.

Please contact Lynda Woods at

[email protected] i you

have questions about charitable

giving, stock gits or want to know how

your company or community group

can be involved.

Its February, and all about love this

month. Supporters o the Market

Foundation expressed their caring

or low income people in manyways.

Love is a many splendored thing and

lets count the ways olks showed us

they care about the Market. Here we go:

Ah & T Irac held their second

annual gol tournament and chose the

Pike Market Clinic as the beneciary.

They raised $23,600 towards the Clinic

expansion and lots o golers, their

riends and colleagues now know more

about the Market Foundation. When the

expansion is complete, Clinic physicians

will be able to see more patients and

getting good health care. Its all aboutthe love!

Each year, the Market Foundation

coordinates a Giving Tree with tags

or people who otherwise might not

celebrate the holidays. The tags are or

little ones who need warm mittens, snow

boots and puzzles to a working mothers

request or a black skirt, size 12 to wear

to work and a senior who just needs a

cozy hooded sweatshirt. Portico Grop,

a good neighbor o the Market, gener-

ously took tags, then came back or more.

Anne ORourke says We were thrilled to

know that the Market Foundation had a

Giving Tree. These people are right here,

in our community, and we wanted to

make a dierence locally. Our employees

had so much un shopping, wrapping

and delivering the gits. One employee

received a tag or a 10 year old boy who

needed socks, underwear and jeans. She

went way beyond that and couldnt resist

adding some toys and a hoodie t-shirt to

be sure he elt cool. It was the highlight

o our holidays! That same sentiment

must be what keeps the WAMu employ-

ees coming back each year. For the past

our years, they have been huge support-

ers o the Giving Tree and we appreciate

their ongoing commitment.

Volunteering is another way to show

the love. The Market Foundation is

HoofprintsAn Update on the Goings-on at the Markets Human Service Agencies

Pike Market MeDiCAL CLiniC

rmdl Udy

Ater more than a decades wait,

the Pike Market Medical Clinic nally

broke ground in January or its newly

expanded acility, scheduled to be com-

pleted late summer 2008. Expansion will

double the number o exam rooms rom

6 to 12, bringing the Clinic up to 3 exam

rooms per physician. The expansion will

also include a provider oce, laboratory,

waiting area, and a conerence room or

group therapy sessions. Without adding

stang, the physical expansion will

increase the number o patients seen

and decrease appointment wait times.

First conceived in the early 1990s, the

idea or a Clinic expansion was devel-

oped as a way to meet the increasing

demand or services, which had already

begun to outstrip the capacity o the

current acility. The Market Foundation

immediately began raising unds. The

Care or the Market

campaign alone

raised more than a

hal million dollars,

and private grantsrom sources such as

the Foster Founda-

tion helped secure

the remaining unds

needed. Finding a site

in the historic Market

proved to be more

challenging - 10 years

more challenging, in

act.

During its decade-

long wait or a site, the

Clinic developed ever

more creative means

to make the most oits current space. Sta shited schedules,

shared desks, and even sacriced one o

the 3 clinic restrooms to create a blood-

draw room.

The relocation o the Senior Center in

2006 at last opened the much needed

space. But in the years since the plan was

rst conceived, the Clinics needs evolved

and the cost o an expansion grew well

beyond what was originally raised or

the remodel. New plans were developed

to best suit the needs o the Clinic today

and the oreseeable uture, and more

capital undraising was kicked o.
