What’s up ’round the island…

A fresh coat makes the place where Mi Casita was in business for 16 years shine in the autumn sun….

Let’s take a look around the island…

• Sarah Crosby asked me to let you know about this, today:

The League of Women Voters of the San Juans will hold its monthly membership meeting on Monday, September 17th at the San Juan Island Library Conference Room at 1010 Guard Street from 12:00n until 2:00pm.  The meeting will be devoted to the proposed changes to the County Charter which are on the November ballot.  Speaking against the changes will be Don Pollard, and speaking for the changes will be Ron Zee and Gordy Peterson.  Members of the public are welcome to attend and to ask questions of the speakers.
