— from Orcas Center —

We hope you can come to the Orcas Center on Tuesday, July 24 from 5 to 7 p.m. for another Community Conversation.

You may have heard of some the changes in staffing since our last community conversation on May 16 – Jim Bredouw is volunteering his time as Interim Executive Director as of July 16, joining Laura Kussman, Marketing Manager; Kelly Larson, Box Office Manager; Annie Moss Moore, Business Manager; and Margie Doyle, Assistant Executive Director.

Our remodeled dance/rehearsal facility is well on the way, with plans for heating and ventilation coming this winter. Our great thanks to our fantastic volunteer team, led by Dane Steck.

There’s lots of talk about people and events at the Center and here’s your opportunity to hear about it first hand in a party atmosphere.

Upcoming is the Chamber Music Festival, the Leo Lambiel Art Sale and a whole new season of programming, rehearsals and classes!

Refreshments will be served.

So please save the date, Tuesday, July 24 at 5 p.m. at the Center — and view Sadie Bailey’s great “Art for Folks” exhibit too!
