Island Things

Barbara Marrett

Barbara Marrett of the S.J.I. Visitors’ Bureau says:

We wanted to share this exciting news: “Island Secrets” filmed last year featuring Orcas Island and San Juan Island will air:

Thursday, June 6, 2013
8 am Pacific Time (11:00 am Eastern Time)
Travel Channel

Enjoy the show! This is an example of the Visitors Bureau working with a national film production company to promote the San Juans.

Cheers,
Barbara

Helping an Islander in Need

Just got this note from Robin Garcia:

Could you please let your readers know that there has been an account set up at Whidbey Island Bank 535 Market St., for Van Valentin to help with medical bills and day to day living expenses while he is battling cancer.  The account is “Van Valentin Medical Fund”.  If there are any questions people can call Robin at (360) 317-7060.

I have opened a Pedego Store at Surina Business Park www.pedegofridayharbor.com and last year I saved over $900 in fuel riding my Pedego around town during the summer and never had to look for a parking space… We need to promote electric bikes as a clean alternative to autos… plus they are good for your health!

The following was featured in the print edition on the front page of the Business Section in the LA Times last weekend and also posted online. In the print edition, it was surrounded by stories about Apple and Tesla.
