September 2024 Potluck

by Tony Grosinger

Summer is wrapping up and the monthly potlucks at the West Sound Hall have returned! There are several exciting developments to share with you. Here's a quick update on what was discussed at our recent community potluck:

In October, a contractor will be repairing the north end of the hall using the funds we raised earlier this year with Give Orcas.

Also in October, we will be electing the new Board of Directors. Our nominating committee - Cathy and Grant - have announced the slate of candidates. This year's nominees are:

  • Lisa Pedersen for President
  • Betsy Wareham for Vice President
  • Beth Gasser for Secretary
  • Tony Grosinger for Treasurer
  • Leslie Brown for Director 1
  • Linn Hulley for Director 2

No additional nominations were made from the floor during the meeting. We encourage all members to join us at the October 19th potluck to vote for the new board.

After the potluck dinner, Lincoln Bormann and Brian Wiese from the San Juan County Land Bank gave a presentation outlining the work they do, how they make decisions about what land to acquire, and provided updates for newly opening parks. The Land Bank will be up for election this fall and you can learn more on their website - https://sjclandbank.org.
