The Deer Harbor Women’s Auxiliary invites Orcas Island residents and friends to a Yard and Bake Sale on Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Deer Harbor Community Club.

The biennial event offers various items gathered from over 50 Deer Harbor households, sweetened with a bake sale of assorted tasty treats baked by auxiliary members, and complimentary coffee.

Organizers say the event is fast gaining a reputation as one of the best yard sale opportunities on Orcas Island. It’s the auxiliary’s main fundraiser for 2011, with all proceeds dedicated toward maintenance of the 100-year-old historic school house building located at 4319 Deer Harbor Road that is home to the Deer Harbor Community Club and Deer Harbor Women’s Auxiliary.

To donate

Auxiliary member Yvonne Ashenhurst, who is chairing the sale, asks that Deer Harbor residents and friends bring appealing items in clean, workable condition to the Community Club for inclusion in the sale.  Donations will be accepted Wednesday, June 1 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Thursday, June 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; and Friday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Yvonne adds, “please no clothing, mattresses and non-working electrical items.”
