OPAL Community Land Trust’s annual meeting will take place on Wednesday, April 29, and include a house tour and brief business meeting, followed by a potluck dinner.

Beginning at 5 p.m., community members are invited to tour three recently “recycled” houses on Mountain View and Seaview streets. Two houses, moved from Belfair and Poulsbo, have been lowered onto new foundations, remodeled and readied for their new owners to move in. The third house, from Seattle, is in the process of being renovated.

Then at 6 p.m., at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church Parish Hall on Main Street, there will be a brief business meeting, including a thank you to out-going trustees Helen Bee and Allen Smith, the election of four new trustees, and an update from Executive Director Lisa Byers, followed by a potluck dinner.

Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP to the OPAL office by 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 28. Call (360) 376-3191 or email office@opalclt.org. Attendees are also asked to bring a salad or dessert to share and their own place settings.

Incorporated in 1989, OPAL serves 132 rental and ownership Orcas Island households and continues to accept applications from people who are not able to purchase a house in the traditional market. For more information, go to: www.opalclt.org or call (360) 376-3191.
