The Orcas Community Council will meet on Sunday, Jan. 13 at the Eastsound Fire Hall from 4 to 6 p.m.

Their focus for the first meeting of the new year is “Reflecting on Newtown … Envisioning Orcas.”

“In the past month we have been witness to national events that are bringing personal and community values, intentions and commitments into dialogue and action,” say organizers.  “What do we hold as valuable? How do we respond and provide for our community?”
