Oops! District Committee election for Orcas Senior Center misprint

||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||

Recently, Orcas Senior Center sent 1300 Special Election Newsletters with mail-in ballots for the Orcas District Committee election beginning June 21, 2021. A candidate notified us of a misprint on page three of the newsletter. On page three in the Mail-in Ballot Instructions box, it states that ballots must be received by Thursday, June 1, 2021. The correct date and time that mail-in ballots must be received by is Thursday, July 1, 2021 at 3:30 p.m.
