||| FROM BRIDGET MEYER for DEER HARBOR COMMUNITY CLUB |||


For the past 120 years, the Deer Harbor Schoolhouse has served Orcas Island from yesterday’s school memories to 2024’s chamber music concerts, potlucks, yoga and community meetings. At the close of its first century, roots have undermined the foundation, and the north wall has begun to buckle. The old gal is full of memories as well as potential but needs some repair before she is lost.
Deer Harbor Community Club (DHCC) has entered the 2024 GiveOrcas Holiday Campaign to raise $15,000 toward the repair. Please join other islanders in saving this historic and cultural treasure. 
Please donate after Dec. 3 online through https://oicf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/grant?grant_id=35686. The drive ends Dec.12, 2024.
