— from Jennifer Vollmer —

Calling all surfers, swimmers, and beachcombers! Please join us for the Orcas Montessori School’s annual auction celebration, “Wave of The Future,” Saturday April 11 from 6-9 p.m. at Random Howse. Come dressed in your finest beach attire! Next Generation Orca Marimba will greet you upon arrival; then step inside to enjoy lively music by J.P. and The OK Rhythm Boys on the main stage. Special appearance by Jaylin and Jenole Peacock, who will perform a tropical island treat.

Fabulous Thai finger food will be provided by the Thai Sisters. Be inspired by auctioneer Mark Padbury and enjoy bidding on a vast array of island services, useful items, adventures, and other offerings in the live and silent auctions (visit www.orcasmontessori.org for an auction preview). The event will close with fire spinning by Lulu Storm. Expect many other surprises in between! All proceeds from the auction will benefit the island children of Orcas Montessori, providing essential funding for scholarships and school materials.

Purchase your tickets at Darvill’s Bookstore or by calling the Orcas Montessori School (376-5350). Admission is $35 p/p. (Price includes one glass of beer, wine or non-alcoholic beverage. Additional beverages available for purchase.)

Free childcare is available the night of the event at the Montessori School with your RSVP. Please call to register your child at 376-5350 no later than Monday, April 6. Hope to see you there!
