Charity corner

The Boomtown Cafe, which provides decent but inexpensive meals to needy people in a restaurant setting in downtown Seattle, will hold its first Squash Ball on Saturday evening. The event, in the Arctic Building's Dome Room, involves local chefs providing samples of dishes that include squash in them, with music by the Seattle Women's Jazz Orchestra. The "black-tie optional" gathering costs $60 per person and goes from 6:30 to 11 p.m. Boomtown, which claims it provides 20,000 meals to homeless and low-income people per month, faces reduced funding because of King County budget cuts. Key Bank, the Williams Kastner & Gibbs law firm and Microsoft provided sponsorship for the ball. Seattle developer Scott Nodland is one of Boomtown's founders and is vice president of its board.
