Orcas Crossroads is now independent | Letter

Published 4:56 pm Monday, March 5, 2012

As the Crossroads Lecture Series continues its fifth season, we wish to share with the community an administrative change in which Orcas Crossroads has become an independent nonprofit organization. We have finalized an agreement by which Orcas Crossroads assumes operation of the series. Because the library will no longer operate the lecture series, it will transfer to the new nonprofit the balance of any previous contributions dedicated to Crossroads.

We are excited to see the appeal and sustainability of Crossroads continuing strongly. As a library program, the series was initially funded through a grant to the library and by a variety of generous private contributions. The series must now be self-sustaining. The library and Orcas Crossroads agree that this new administration of the series will continue to serve the community.

Please contact Orcas Crossroads or the Orcas Library if you have any questions or would like to talk more about this transition. Thanks for your past and future support to the Orcas Island Library and Orcas Crossroads.
