On Nov. 8, Orcas Island hosted its first TEDxOrcasIsland – a day-long conference featuring 15 speakers of diverse backgrounds, three musical performances and a theater full of engaged community members. It took place at Orcas Center with morning and afternoon programs bisected with an on-site lunch provided by the New Leaf Café.
