Karen Helweil, a beloved teacher at Magnolia’s Catharine Blaine K-8 for more than 20 years, died on Sunday, Dec. 18. The cause of death was not disclosed.
Magnolia’s participating merchants collected a total of 800 pounds of food and $634.58 in cash for charities during the Dec. 9 WinterFest event. Some of the more than 20 businesses in the Magnolia Village that took part in the WinterFest event were collecting canned goods for the Ballard Food Bank.
