Granny’s Attic Sale was a huge success | Letter

Orcas Islanders rock! Once again, the people of Orcas have embraced the Senior Center by supporting Granny’s Attic Sale.

Orcas Islanders rock! Once again, the people of Orcas have embraced the Senior Center by supporting Granny’s Attic Sale. We made our goal of $9,000 and that wouldn’t have happened without the support of so many of you.

I would like to thank Roger and his students at the Christian School for their help moving boxes, the Friends of the Library for the use of some of their tables, the members of Life Church for helping us clean up, and Orcas Issues and The Islands’ Sounder for their wonderful coverage of the event.

As everyone knows, these events don’t happen without the worker bees behind the scenes.  My crew of Gael Shipstad, Beth Jurgensen, Dorothy Patton, Shelly Kinner, Millie Vetterlein, Lise Reinholt and others who worked for six weeks cleaning and pricing items and Irene O’Neil who was our linen gal.  Last but not least, a huge “Thank You” to everyone who donated items and then came to shop.  This event is a win-win for the people of Orcas and the Senior Center.  Thanks again.
