— from Susan Anderson —
Orcas Island Children’s House is selling coupon books, featuring more than $500 in discounts offered by local businesses. Go Orcas! includes nearly 100 coupons (valid through May 2016) featuring savings on dining, entertainment, recreation, retail/gifts, lodging and services.
The coupon book was previously published by the Senior Center. Children’s House revitalized the project this year as a fundraiser to support its own early learning program and hopes to raise $10,000 through sales of the books priced at $20 each.
Executive Director Susan Anderson notes many of the businesses featured in the book are owned by people who have children or grandchildren at Children’s House or they have attended Children’s House themselves. “It seemed a natural way for us to support both our families and community, as well.”
Additional details on where to buy the books and a sample copy is available at www.oich.org.
