Thanks for Montessori auction | Letter
Thank you to the many local and off island friends and businesses that contributed to the success of the Orcas Montessori School Spring Auction on May 4. OMS extends many heartfelt thanks to:
Thank you to United Way | Letter
On behalf of The Funhouse Commons board, staff and dozens of Orcas families, thanks to the United Way of San Juan county for supporting our Afterschool program with a 2013 grant!
Thanks for Orcas Angels fundraiser | Letter
Thank you so much for your generous donation of your facility and wonderful staff to Orcas Angels.
Goodbye to Helen Hale | Letter
On May 13, our beloved, beautiful Light Being Helen Hale, left Orcas Island for her Greatest Journey! She flew to the stars!
Thanks to OCS students | Letter
To our wonderful neighbors at the Christian School, thank you for keeping the true spirit of May Day alive on Orcas Island.
Support for Broadband Initiative | Letter
Our current Internet service provided by CenturyLink does not even average half of the speed stated in the plan we are paying for with them, either uploading or downloading.
Broadband plan is bad | Letter
OPALCO’s proposal to start offering broadband by putting transmitters on most of the poles in the islands, effectively bathing us all in WiFi radiation, is a terrible and irresponsible idea.
Property owners’ needs are important | Letter
With a new county council to be sworn in and a new county administrator to be hired, it is timely to recommend a policy change. For all too long county policy has evidenced a purpose to obstruct property owners’ desires whenever construction or property development was involved. Some applauded this anti-development sentiment.
Salmonberry dinner was a success | Letter
This year’s Salmonberry School Auction and Dinner was a tremendous success. As caterer for the event, I would like to extend a very special thanks to the people who directly contributed so generously to the dinner. Your donations were a huge help to me and also to the school.
Taking steps to build resiliency | Letter
Research shows that prevention and early intervention are the best medicine.
Medical marijuana dispensary? | Letter
I am thinking about starting a Medical Marijuana Dispensary. I already have proper legal paper work and legal backing. My question is: what does the community think?
