Greenwood resident Jessica Pelkey is so sick of the negative vibe that the arsons have caused around the neighborhood that she’s created a special Greenwood Love T-shirt line on Cafe Press, and she’s donating 15 percent of the proceeds to rebuilding the Green Bean Coffeehouse.

T-shirts are printed with the phrase, “Spread Love, it’s the Greenwood way.” Short-sleeve T-shirts start at $19.99 ($18.99 for kids). She’s also got a hooded sweatshirt, a shirt especially for dogs, buttons and mugs.

Greenwood Elementary School is looking for donations for its annual fundraiser, set for March 14. The fundraiser provides money for school programs in art, music, language, drama and environmental education.

Auction Co-Chair Karen Comiskey says goods and services of all kinds are welcome, including gift certificates. Donation ideas include yard work, knitting lessons, restaurant gift certificates, store gift cards, arts and crafts, homemade jewelry, hotel stays, cabin getaways and boat cruises.

Tickets to ”Puttin’ on the Ritz” are $30 until Feb. 15, then the price goes up to $35. The auction starts at 5 p.m. March 14 at the Ballard Elks Club at 6411 Seaview Ave. N.

Check out the auction website for more information or to download a donation form.

Friday is “Futurama Trivia Night” at Neptune Coffee at 8415 Greenwood Ave. N. For a minimum $5 donation from 8-10 p.m., participants can answer questions such as “What is Bender’s full name?” (Bender Bending Rodriguez) and “What planet is Leela from? (earth).

All proceeds benefit 826 Seattle, the non-profit writing center for students directly across the street from Neptune, hiding behind the alias Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co.

While you’re at Neptune, check out their newest art exhibit by artist Patrick Gundran. His artist’s letter, posted on the wall, says “Thank you for taking the time to view my art. I hope that by doing so, you won’t experience any lingering paranormal activity upon your person. That is not my intention, but a possible side effect that I have NO control over.” Hmmm…
