What's New at DNDA
Keep up with all the new developments in the Delridge Neighborhoods!
With heavy hearts, we share the news that our co-founder Vivian McLean passed on from this life on March 24, 2011.
Without Vivian, there wouldn’t be the community identity we share as Delridge, let alone a Delridge District Council or a Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association, or any of the things we’ve accomplished over our years. "Vivian McLean was a great citizen, activist, and mentor, and co-chair of one of my early campaigns. She will be missed by all who knew her, and many more who didn't," says her fellow former DNDA board member Dow Constantine.
Understandably, Vivian's family is asking for privacy right now, and will announce memorial details when arrangements are finalized. We will share those details when they become available.
West Seattle Blog posted this story earlier today, with links to recent stories, including the one about Vivian's 90th birthday party.
