Savoring Community: Real Conversations Over Authentic Paella

You're invited to join Claire Sumadiwirya for an intimate evening of paella and appetizers as the season turns. Come straight from work, this one's built for a Thursday. Unlike a typical fundraiser, this evening combines good food with honest conversation about where Bellevue goes next.

What Makes This Evening Special

This isn't your typical fundraiser. With freshly made paella cooking over an open flame, string lights against the early fall dark, and a deliberately small gathering, you'll have the chance to:

• Talk directly with Claire, unscripted

• Share what you're seeing in your own corner of Bellevue over paella and appetizers

• Connect with neighbors who care about this city as much as you do

• Support a campaign built on inclusivity, affordability, and vibrancy

About Claire

Small business owner, mother, community leader, and current council member, Claire leads by listening first and acting with purpose. That's the spirit of this gathering.

Event Details

Paella prepared on-site over an open flame, alongside a spread of appetizers, wine, and refreshments from local Bellevue businesses. Casual, meaningful conversation in a beautiful outdoor setting: no speeches, no program. Space is intentionally limited to keep the conversations real.

RSVP Required. Forty seats only. Childcare provided on-site.
