January 2015 - more

A few more things...

At last night's meeting the Board of Island County Commissioners proclaimed Monday, January 26 - Sunday, February 1, 2015 the week of the 12th Man, and the 12th Man Flag will proudly fly at the courthouse in recognition of the unstoppable Seattle Seahawks and their unrivaled supporters and fans - commonly known as the 12th Man. Go Seahawks!

South-end transit service added
                   
Some good news for transit riders on South Whidbey! The operations folks at Island Transit have proposed a budget neutral new route configuration to the area which will restore some of the regular and para-transit service which was cut last fall. Here is a link to the information packet being shared.

Beach Litter Clean Up
 

recycling_thumbs_up.jpg We love our beaches and they need our attention to stay safe and attractive places to visit. Upcoming opportunities for beach cleanup are being sponsored by WSU Extension at Keystone Spit East State Park on Friday, January 30th from 9-11 am and on Friday February 6th at Ebey's Landing National Reserve from 11-1 pm.

This is a great way to give back to the community, help restore habitat and have fun on the beach with your neighbors.

Contact Stinger at least two days before the cleanup so he can expect you and notify you if there is a cancellation in the schedule. All bags, gloves and equipment is provided. Wear appropriate clothing. If you don't have a Discover Pass, a one-day volunteer pass is available.
