Cheri Peters to come to Orcas Island for public talks this weekend
By Wendy Shinstine Smith
Cheri Peters travels the world expressing knowledge and testimony with the encouragement people crave. She is featured on a radio program as well as on an ongoing TV program hosted by 3abn. She invites guest speakers to her shows who have medical knowledge and speakers who have testimony of their own personal recovery stories as well as their families who walked through recovery with them. She has written two books about her life and another about the experiences of others
Peters is brought to Orcas Island for several public events this weekend:
Friday, April 29
8:35 am – 9:20 am at Orcas Public School – Commons gathering with students from 9th and 10th grades….both Public and Orcas Christian Schools
This will be based on information for students to make solid aware choices with a positive approach to life style choices. Students connect to Cheri with her amazing vibrant attitudes and her ability to be completely honest with them
9:30am – 10:20 am at Orcas Public School – Commons gathering with students from 11th and 12th grades…both Public and OCS schools
During break period after students may find Cheri in the Commons and then at Enzo’s after for additional question time

Food dishes NOT required to attend but appreciated… our hope is for all the community to feel welcome —– for ease of planning and seating we are hoping for FINGER FOODS that can be enjoyed while seated casually. Please bring or know basic ingredients for food labels to accommodate allergies and preferences for vegetarian and gluten free
The Orcas Christian School and the Orcas Adventist Fellowship would like to thank the
Orcas Public School, the Orcas Island Prevention Partnership, Point Blank, and The Orcas Island Community Church. It couldn’t happen without such strong ties in our community.
My feeling is that every family on the island is either touched by addictive behaviors or recovering in one way or another from it. For those who are free from any ties to it….it is wonderful to be able to have a few of the right words to encourage others.
