The “YES for Schools Committee” has launched a new Web site, www.yesfororcasschools.com, that provides answers to questions about the upcoming school bond.

The committee came together after the last school bond was narrowly defeated. It consists of community members interested in seeing the passage of the reduced school bond in August. Members include Scott Lancaster, Janet Brownell, David Kau, Justin Paulson, Keith Whitaker, Marian O’Brien, Kyle Freeman, Cathy Ferran, Barbara Kline, Mandy Randolph, Anne Ford McGrath, Lanie Padbury, Margie Doyle, Jeannie Beck, Gary Abood, and Madie Murray.

The YES website will be updated between now and the election in August. Right now the answers to the “Top Ten Questions about the Bond” are addressed on the site. These questions are also answered in this week’s edition on page 5.

The YES Committee will also have a presence at the Farmers’ Market starting on June 19 through to the election in August.

For more information or to ask a question, email Janet Brownell at maxdigger@hotmail.com. The YES Committee is also seeking donations from anyone who would like to support the passage of the bond. Donations may be sent to: YES FOR SCHOOLS Committee, P.O. Box 942, Eastsound, WA 98245. Checks should be made payable to the Yes For Schools Committee.
