Around the island….

Let’s see what’s going on around here….

• It’s today! Bob Stavers & Judy Chovan are traveling – they were in Boulder yesterday, as they cross Colorado –  and what better time to have a birthday! Happy Birthday, Judy!

Zip San Juan - Pat & Stella are getting it going!

• It’s a new business on the island – Pat & Stella hope to get Zip San Juan going for next year’s visitors, and for locals as well. If you’ve ever gone along on a zip line you get the idea – and their nicely done webpage explains it even better, so check it out!

• Flu clinics are underway: Karie Rishel at San Juan Healthcare says they started this week:

We would like to start getting the word out regarding this year’s Flu Clinics!

Our first one started this week on October 12 & 13, 1:30-4:30pm. Then it’s every Tuesday and Wednesday through November 17, also from 1:30-4:30pm.

• Garage sale! Lisa Anderson says:

Garage Sale – Saturday, 10/16 from 8a to 11a (no earlybirds!). Unit 29 at The Storage Place, 845 Argyle Street!

• The League of Women Voters’ Candidates Forum is tonight – hope to see you there!

Melissa and Paul

• Ran into Melissa and Paul the other day at Pablito’s…she tells me she just started working with Tammy at Farmers’ Insurance, moving over from Whidbey Bank where she’d been for a while.

• Rosa from the Farmers Market has a potluck this weekend – and yes, the Market is this Saturday at 10am at the Courthouse:

Just sending out a reminder that the SJI Farmers’ Market is hosting a Community Potluck and Silent Auction THIS Saturday from 5:30-8:30pm at the FHHS Commons. Entrance on Guard St.  Please come celebrate community and local food with friends and family!  This is a free event and all are welcome.

You meet all kinds of friends at the post office...

In addition to a dish of food to share, PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN UTENSILS AND A DISH as we will not have access to the kitchen.  Please let others know this.

I am also putting out a request for items to be included in the silent auction.  $50 or less in value.  I’m envisioning a wide range of products that might be found at the market, such as produce, fruit, flowers, meat, baked goods, photography, textiles, jewelry, etc.  Let me know what you would like to donate and its aprox. value.  You can bring it to me at the Farmers’ Market.

• Tomorrow, Mike Vouri will lead a tour of American Camp with the Save Our Bunnies (SOB) group at 10am…everybody is welcome! Here’s more.

There's a new corner at the Bean Coffeehouse for you to sit & get breakfast or your afternoon muffin...drop by & say hey!
