||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||
The Orcas Island Lions Club is proud to announce the establishment of a $25,000 matching grant through the Orcas Island Community Foundation (OICF) to support the Orcas Senior Center’s (OSC) renovation project. This grant is available for the month of November, so your contribution during this period will have double the impact. These critical improvements will help preserve the building, ensuring the center can continue to serve our island community.
The Lions Club is a strong supporter of the Senior Center’s vision to reconfigure parts of the building, creating additional space for social, recreational, and educational activities.
Our partnership with the Orcas Senior Center has been long-standing, including collaboration on the mobility equipment program, diabetes awareness initiatives, and providing a bimonthly meeting space. We recognize the Senior Center as a vital and active part of our community and are committed to enhancing our relationship by supporting the building’s renovation. We also advocate for future initiatives such as developing a respite care program.
Donations to the Orcas Island Lions Senior Center Renovation Fund can be made through OICF at https://oicf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=3417 during the month of November.
Thank you for helping us create a stronger, more vibrant island community.
