— from the Orcas Island Community Foundaton (OICF) —
OICF is hosting a 2015 Holiday Catalog from November 24 – January 1 with great giving opportunities at GiveOrcas.org. This is the third year of the holiday catalog. 25 entries were reviewed and vetted by our committee; 12 nonprofits are represented, including Mercy Flights, the Fireworks Fund, Saving Orcas Voices oral history project, Friends of Moran, and more!
This year we have added “Find Flat Lance” to the adventure. We have a life sized cutout of Chamber of Commerce Director Lance Evans and his dog Chet. ‘Flat’ Lance will pop up around the island throughout the duration of the catalog. Take a selfie with him and post it on our Facebook page with #giveorcas and we will add your name to the hat. Once a week, the Real Lance will pick a name from the hat, and that person will win that week’s contribution for the catalog cause of their choice.
For more information on Finding Flat Lance, visit www.oicf.us. We look forward to having a little fun with Flat Lance and YOU!

Here’s a hint where Flat Lance can be found on Saturday, Nov. 28 …
Flat Lance loves Seniors. He also plans to do a lot of Holiday shopping and especially loves hand-crafted items. However, his favorites can only be found at the Friends of Moran State Park Summit Gift Shop. While the gift shop is closed for the season – fear not! You’ll find a beautiful assortment of best sellers at the Senior Center Holiday Festival of the Arts. Come get your picture taken with Flat Lance and let’s kick start the season of giving.
