Donate auction items now for Annual Kaleidoscope event

Kaleidoscope Preschool and Child Care Center is gearing up for the 11th Annual Island Grown, Island Raised Dinner Auction. On Saturday, September 12, this fun event will be hosted at Maple Rock Farm. The silent auction will begin at 5:30 and end at 8:30. Tickets are $50 each and can be purchased by calling Kaleidoscope at 376-2484.

Hors d’oeuvres, dinner, and dessert will feature the best local food and beer/wine that San Juan County has to offer. The silent auction and raise the paddle event will benefit the high-quality early childhood education program that Kaleidoscope brings to the island community.

In the spirit of this “Island Grown, Island Raised” event, we are seeking support from the Orcas community to continue the pursuit of quality education for our youngest minds. Kaleidoscope is now accepting charitable donations for the silent auction table. Some of the items already listed are round-trip airfare to Seattle from Kenmore Air that is paired with a stay on a Lake Union Houseboat, and pies for a year baked by Barb Griffin.
