Councilman Rick Hughes and the Orcas Island Senior Center will host a town hall meeting on Thursday, Oct. 24 at 5:30 p.m.

The meeting will be held at the Orcas Senior Center in Eastsound. Hughes and representatives from senior services would like to hear from you. As you look toward retirement and beyond, how can they help you to stay on Orcas Island? What do you believe you will need and desire during your post retirement days?

“As we begin our strategic planning to include the next ten years, we want to serve you better,” said Marla Johna, senior center director. “Please, come prepared to share your ideas, thoughts, plans and wishes. We need to hear from you.”
