Cassie and Kennedy seen in the photo, visitors to Orcas, enthusiastically mixed the raffle tickets and together pulled the winning ticket.

Kudos to the community who purchased over $1800 worth of raffle tickets, many donated to local charities. It’s a great reflection of the generosity of our community.
