Final free community dinner of the year

The last community dinner for 2010 will be on Tuesday, March 9, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Orcas Christian School.

This month’s free meal will feature Italian food: lasagna, spaghetti with a red or white sauce, steamed broccoli, green beans, salad bar, bread sticks, ice cream, biscotti and a drink. The gym will be open from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m.

“At my job I have the incredible opportunity to meet the residents of this wonderful island. Attending the community dinner gives me a chance to spend time with those same people in a relaxed atmosphere where the food is fantastic and someone else does the dishes!” said Mike Haugen, a window clerk at the post office.
