Greetings (Greetings!
The Fall season can be invigorating--the crispness in the air, the vibrant colors of the leaves, the peak of the harvest, and the entrance to important holidays. This year, in particular, we can celebrate a strengthening economy and the resulting opportunities to fortify our community bonds and create new business opportunities...and, of course, the survival of our first wind storm! How can we make the most of these opportunities? A few ideas-- - Vote Today--if you haven't already. We truly can influence our local government and issues that directly effect us.
- Get Involved--or renew your involvement in your community. Wouldn't it be great to see the passion and energy surrounding the sign at the Clinton ferry dock applied to some other pressing issues?
- Buy Local--get to know or improve your relationships with our local businesses. We have an amazing array of skills & experience, products & services right here in Clinton!
I hope you enjoy the energy and pulse of the season...let's continue to foster a thriving community, in Clinton, on the South end, and beyond. And I hope to see you on Thursday!
Sherryl Christie-Bierschenk
Chairperson, Clinton Chamber of Commerce

| WISH Fundraiser - November 2nd thru November 20th
Share Your Change -- Share A Home
5th Annual Fundraiser sponsored by Whidbey Coffee
November 2nd through November 20th
As the need for affordable housing alternatives escalates for Whidbey Island residents, so does the creative support and solutions at WISH! Ongoing partnerships offer energy and life skills assistance, temporary emergency housing, wellness checks for qualifying women, ever-widening referral service and community outreach efforts. Show your support for combining and preserving our resources through home sharing.
You can help by participating in the fundraiser.
Just drive through your local Whidbey Coffee kiosk or Whidbey Coffee Café and ask for our Wish house bank.
Check it out, fill it up with currency or coin, and return it by the 20th and receive our thank you certificate entitling you to 10 free 12 oz. coffee drinks. If your day is hurried and hectic and you still support combining and preserving our resources through home sharing, simply write a check for $25 and receive the same thank you certificate.
Our staff is available to share more information with you and your committee members about home sharing and the growing services and referrals WISH provides. Give us a call to come speak and answer your questions.
A really helpful and important way to help WISH is to spread the word! Sharing what you know about the program with your friends and family is the greatest way to create awareness. If you want information, give us a call and we will provide literature, website contact, and up to date information about the program.
