History lovers are in for a treat! Three members of the Olga Symphony will share the 33 year history of that beloved island group in a fun song and picture presentation at this year’s Annual Meeting of the Orcas Island Historical Society. Learn how this iconic island group got started and how it became the wise cracking, instrument pounding, genre defying, charity supporting group that we know and love.
The Annual Meeting of the Orcas Island Historical Society will be held January 23 from 3 to 6 at the Orcas Island Senior Center. Cost is $15 per person.
The Annual Meeting is also a pot luck dinner with the Historical Society providing the Prime Rib and Salmon. Members and guests are asked to bring a dish that serves 8 or more. Last names beginning with A-G are asked to bring a side dish, H-R bring a salad and S-Z bring a dessert.
You won’t want to miss this fun evening. To make your reservations, call the Historical Society’s office at 376-4849, register on our website at orcasmuiseums.org, or send us an e-mail at info@orcasmuseum.org. Be sure to specify whether you want a Prime Rib or Salmon entrée.

This is a wonderful way for us to show our support for the Historical Society and it’s mission to preserve our island history: attend this fun “meeting”, bring your favorite pot luck dish, and maybe even become a member if you aren’t already.
My philosophy is that, if we live here even for a few days, we’re part of Orcas history.
Therefore, being a member of OIHM helps preserve Our History. It’s personal.
