The Edgewater Garden Club will begin its new year of programs in September. We meet the fourth Tuesday of each month (September - May) at the Samish Island Community Center. If you are interested in becoming a member, please send $10 in dues to the club's treasurer, Linda Larson (9976 Samish Island Rd, Bow, WA, 98232). Any questions, call Linda (766.6600). 8/8/08

The SICC project for 2008 is a new septic system for the hall. While not as decorative as our recent paint, curtains and additions, this is an essential upgrade to meet code, and our ever-growing uses of the hall. Any additional contribution to this effort is very welcomed and appreciated by all who use the SICC hall. Contact Chuck Davis if you can help out, or add a small contribution to your annual dues. Cost is estimated at $14,000.

Islanders: Think about renting the community hall for a family or other private function in 2008. SICC rents it for family holidays, church events, meetings, office & group parties, birthdays, weddings, receptions, dinners and other events. We have a nice space to rent, and we encourage your use of the hall for all your special larger events.

The Samish Island Community Club has various policies that guide board decisions. If you have a question about community club decisions, check the policies page. Ideas and feedback are always welcome: contact the current president.
