Save the date and come support Community Solar for Our Schools on Saturday, December 6 at the Episcopal Parish Hall!

We have an Enchanted Evening planned to celebrate community and support Solar for Our Schools.

We invite you to join us, bring some friends and take part in a festive and enchanted evening. We’ll be serving a four-course dinner with live music and creative auction items from our local community members. Those curious to know more about our auction items are encouraged to follow us on Facebook.

Solar panel Installation at the Funhouse Commons this fall.

This is a fundraising dinner and auction for Community Solar for Our Schools, a project led by the San Juan Islands Conservation District. The Community Solar for Our Schools project will provide four solar-electric systems to produce energy for our local schools, reducing their electricity costs while providing incentive payments to community members who contribute.

We are striving to meet the generous matching contribution of $10,250 from the Odd Fellows. Call us or visit us online to see how you can help. Better yet, join us.

Get your tickets!

Tickets are available at Darvill’s and Orcas Food Co-op, or by calling 376-6621. Ticket price is $25. For more information call 376-6621 or email solar@sjislandscd.org.
