— from the Orcas Island Community Foundation —
The Orcas Island Community Foundation and Orcas Island Fire Department are offering a Day of Service program in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday, January 20th from noon to 4 p.m. at the Eastsound Fire Hall.
The community is invited to come to the Fire Hall and pick a community project to work on. So far, the Funhouse Commons, Friends of Moran, the School District, and Children’s House have projects ranging from clean-up to roof repair. There will also be a beach and road side clean up. Volunteers can contribute as little or as much time as they see fit.
For a complete list of opportunities, go to www.oicf.us. If your organization has a project to add to the list, please contact the Orcas Island Community Foundation, 376-6423.
Orcas Island Fire and Rescue will be providing free CPR training throughout the event. This will be a half-hour training focused on developing your comfort and skills with the new CPR protocols. We would love to train 100 people on the 20th. It is an ambitious goal, but we are a remarkable community! Help us make it happen. Working together, our community grows stronger and healthier!
