Call for entries

— from Susan Anderson, Director Children’s House —

Children’s House is seeking one or two more candidates and sponsors for Honorary Mayor of Eastsound. The race — featuring five local pets — is an annual “fun”raiser benefiting the school’s toddler and preschool program.

The race is all in good fun, but requires a serious commitment by pet owners to help Children’s House to reach its fundraising goal. All candidates must have a campaign manager and a sponsor willing to promote the candidate. Current Mayor Granny, and her manager Alex Callen, were sponsored by Deer Harbor Charters.

Participation requires occasional candidate appearances (real or virtual) and a commitment to stumping May-end through July. The winner is announced following the Independence Day festivities in Eastsound.

Because of its current waiting list, Children’s House will be accepting new candidates only through Wednesday, May 5th. For more information on the race and to learn how to enter, visit https://www.oich.org/mayor_race_reqs.html then email susan@oich.org.
