The art teachers and volunteers for AOK want to thank everyone who came out on a very rainy day to support Art for Orcas Kids.

As you know, art in the schools is so very important and almost $3,000 was raised that day. There is a lot of donated merchandise that we have left over and we would like to donate it back to the community. On Saturday, July 18, we will have an event where all the merchandise that we still have will be free for the taking. The place will be the same, up behind Orcas Center, and the hours will also be the same, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please bring your own bags and wear masks.
