COMMUNITY PICNIC & MARKET

ON THE VILLAGE GREEN

The Village Green

Thursday, July 4 noon until fireworks

Have you heard? We're getting the band island back together again!

Come out to Eastsound for a huge day of family-friendly fun at the Annual Community Picnic on the Village Green! The festivities kick off at 9am with the Firecracker 5K Fun Run. The picnic gets underway at noon with the ever-popular cakewalk, chili cook-off, pie baking contest, and Kidsville activity tent. Music kicks off at 3pm with local favorites Baker & West followed by island phenoms The Studs at 5pm. Nationally renowned Grateful Dead tribute band Cosmic Charlie traveling from Athens, Georgia will hit the stage at 7pm and close things out just before the fireworks! It's going to be a fantastic day.

Online registration for the chili cook off, pie baking contest, and parade is now open! Prefer paper registration forms? Get yours here: chili cook off, pie baking contest, and parade forms are available to download.

ORCAS SENIOR CENTER CAPITAL CAMPAIGN FOR BUILDING OWNERSHIP

Orcas Senor Center’s (OSC’s) capital campaign is well on its way to raising the $1.5 million needed to achieve full ownership of the building. As the thermometer at Brown Bear reflects, we have raised about $613,000 thus far. We need your financial support to reach this important goal. Every little (and big) bit helps!

OSC has greatly increased services and activities in the past year. The nonprofit needs full use of the OSC building to adequately meet the needs of our growing senior community and to become a community center for people of all ages and abilities on Orcas. We anticipate that transition over the next 2-5 years and are working with local government to avoid any reduced access to county services on the island.

With less than three full-time employees, OSC provides more than 2,000 service contacts per month to older adults and people living with disabilities, thanks to approximately 100 volunteers. The nonprofit is not a government agency and receives no tax dollar support.

You can ensure that the Center remains a community resource for years to come. OSC has an agreement with San Juan County to buy its 49% interest in the facility. A successful capital campaign will fund complete ownership of the building, critical deferred maintenance, repairs, and possibly future improvements as community needs require.

You can help! Please contribute online at http://tinyurl.com/OSCBuildingFund. For more information or to discuss your tax-deductible donation, please contact us at admin@orcasseniors.org or 360-919-9312. To read more about the capital campaign go to www.orcasseniors.org.

You can help stop Medicare fraud!

Medicare fraud costs an estimated $60 billion each year and ultimately raises the cost of healthcare for everyone. June 3-9 is National Medicare Fraud Prevention Week to call attention to the issue. 

As a Medicare beneficiary, you can protect yourself by following these fraud prevention tips:

• Never give out your personal information such as your Social Security, Medicare, bank account or credit card numbers over the phone, in a text or email, or in person unless you've initiated the contact. Medicare will never contact you for your Medicare number or other personal information.
• Read your Medicare Summary Notice to be sure you received all the services, supplies, or equipment listed.
• Make sure you buy medical insurance from a licensed agent. To see if they’re licensed in Washington state go to www.insurance.wa.gov.

Sponsored by Orcas Senior Center, Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) program volunteers work to empower and assist Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to prevent, detect, and report health care fraud, errors, and abuse through outreach, counseling, and education. If you have questions or suspect fraud or abuse, call your Orcas Island SHIBA volunteers at 360-376-5892 or visit www.insurance.wa.gov/medicare.
