The Orcas Island Community Foundation has opened a fund to support the rebuilding of the Exchange on Orcas. The fund has been named the Exchange Phoenix Fund, in the firm belief that a new form will rise from the ashes with increased capacity to better serve our community.
To contribute to this effort, donate on line at www.oicf.us, or mail a check to OICF, PO Box 1496, Eastsound, WA, 98245. Please make checks payable to OICF with the Exchange listed in the memo field. Contact the Community Foundation, 376-6423, with questions.

How about a goal, a picture, an idea of what is needed, a thermometer? Some way to know where the board is and what they plan.

Great idea, Linda. The Board is working on a plan with a budget attached and we will broadcast it once it is announced. They opted to start the fund in order to capture the ‘heat’ of the moment, with the awareness that more information would be forthcoming.
