The Orcas Community Council holds a space for us to explore what is on the hearts and minds of Orcas Islanders. These monthly gatherings are an opportunity to share and learn more from one another.

We invite you to attend the next Orcas Community Council Circle and Potluck, scheduled for Sunday, March 11 at the Deer Harbor Community Center. The Council meets from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and is followed by a potluck until 7:30 p.m.

Participant donations help cover the cost of the meeting space, place settings and refreshments are provided and all islanders are invited to come and bring a salad, entrée or dessert to share.

The OCC, a project of Thrive Orcas Island, uses the PeerSpirit model of community engagement and is facilitated by alumni of Leadership San Juan Islands.
