In response to feedback concerning the difficulty of driving on a dark winter’s night, the Orcas Museum will be hosting their Annual Meeting as a daytime venue this year instead the usual first Monday night in December.
2012 Orcas Island Historical Society Annual Meeting & Luncheon will be held on Sunday December 2 at Camp Orkila.This will be a late lunch to accommodate church-goers: the event begins at 2:30 p.m.
There will be shuttle bus service from the upper parking lot to the dining hall, and disabled access right to the door. The $18 per plate menu includes: roast turkey, black bean soup (as a vegetarian alternative), mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, salad bar, cinnamon cake and assorted pies for dessert, and BYOB.
The Museum Board welcomes all members of the public to this gathering which will include door prizes, awards, the big quilt raffle drawing and other special presentations.
The beautiful 2013 Historic Orcas Barns calendar will be available for purchase.
Very important: please RSVP by Friday November 23rd if at all possible! Call the Museum office at 376-4849 to help them get a tally for the caterers. Payments may be made either in advance or at the door.
