In these trying times the proposed Orcas Parks and Recreation District is truly a positive possibility. The ability to define and control our own programs like San Juan Island Park and Rec has done over the last 25 years is very enticing.
In a typically cooperative Orcas fashion, the district commissioners would collaboratively work with the community to come up with a universally beneficial plan and budget. The commissioners would be accountable to the community for all aspects of the program and their hard work, along with the good will of the people, could produce a fantastic program for kids and adults alike.
Please support the formation and staffing of the district this November.
