— from Sara Boyle for Orcas Senior Center —
The Orcas Senior Center is recruiting participants for our upcoming Focus Groups to further explore the results of the “How we build a vital future” Orcas Island survey conducted in the Fall/Winter of 2017.
In June 2018, we will be holding three focus groups (10-12 people per group) to discuss services, needs, and solutions related to the following topics:
- Coordinator to help Navigate and facilitate access to services
- Home Safety (including possible handyman services, home assessments and other services)
- Emergency Preparedness (including senior emergency kits and information about services such as Life Alert)
Interested in participating? Contact Sara Boyle via email oisc.cfa@gmail.com or phone (360-376-723).

Leif — You certainly enjoy writing comments. If you have idea about how to do it “right,” in your view, with the limited resources available to the Senior Center (and every other organization on this small island), please don’t keep it to yourself.
Instead of all the nefarious intentions you seem to see in every act of citizen involvement, what I see are the well-intended efforts of good people all around Orcas (mere mortals) trying to make this a better place for all of us to live — and stay. That’s called community, not ill intent.
