Join Our Contractor Recruitment BBQ and Beer Event
||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||
Orcas Senior Center is expanding its Home Maintenance and Repair program and seeks licensed contractors who work on Orcas Island to help keep our aging community safe and supported at home. In a survey of 276 local seniors, home maintenance was ranked as a top concern, surpassing even personal health and access to healthcare.

Thanks, Orcasonian! I have wondered who to call too many times!
BBQ, beer and a chat sounds like a super idea to me! I’m going!
Interesting community effort.
However, it should be made clear who can attend the BBQ and beer event. I read it’s only for contractors, not seniors interested in the program.
