The Funhouse
Hard to believe it, but the hand-painted doors of the Funhouse opened a decade ago this month, after more than a year of construction and incredible volunteer commitment.
In honor of this anniversary, The Funhouse is having a Fall Birthday Party and Open House, September 10th from 3 – 6 p.m.
This is a chance for families to stop in and grab a free hot dog, apple cider, a cupcake, and renew their family memberships.
Visitors can also sign up for a raffle to win free classes, memberships and other prizes.
It’s also an invitation to come in, look around, and learn about what The Funhouse does for the community. Funhouse staff will be eager to tell you about the successful After school, Teen night, Mentor and Education programs.
Memberships are the life-blood of The Funhouse. And since everyone in the community benefits from the programs, The Funhouse needs everyone’s support—even from those who don’t have children. This is a great opportunity to become a member for the first time!
For a decade now, no one has ever been turned away from The Funhouse, or any Funhouse program, for lack of funds. The Funhouse reminds everyone that if money is an issue, this is a great opportunity to come in and fill out a scholarship application.
The Funhouse welcomes you to stop by on Friday the 10th to help us celebrate 10 years of excitement, wonder and service, and get ready for the decade to come!
Founded by generous members of the Orcas Island community in 2000, The Funhouse is a 501(c)3 non- profit community center with hands-on science exhibits, multi-media labs, art studio, climbing wall and more. The Funhouse also facilitates essential Teen, After School, Education and Mentor programs for the youth on Orcas Island. www.thefunhouse.org
