||| FROM ORCAS ISLAND PRIDE |||
| We hope the month of April has passed by well for you! We at Pride have been busy tinkering away on the details for our annual Pride Fest this June. We think you’ll love this year’s theme (here’s a hint: the colors match the theme!). |
| In more official news, it’s time for our second ever annual meeting! The meeting will be held on April 28th, from 5:30PM to 6:30PM, at the OICF Community Meeting Room.
If you’ve ever wished to meet us, or bring something to our attention, this is the perfect time! We invite most all questions, comments, and concerns – integrity is the backbone of community, and we try our best to constantly be bettering ourselves. |

| GiveOrcas 2026 |
|
| Orcas Pride applied to the GiveOrcas campaign for the first time, and we are SO excited to announce that we have been accepted! We are delighted to join in solidarity with community efforts across the island, strengthening and centralizing our grassroots fundraising efforts!
We take no corporate sponsors; we are community-powered! Whether you give your time, love, or money – we need it all! Look out for upcoming volunteer opportunities and for the GiveOrcas campaign. Read up on GiveOrcas here, and you can donate to us directly here. Please consider donating when the campaign opens up! You’ll probably see a bunch of emails from us during the campaign as well, but every little bit helps! |
