Other Samish Island Groups

Samish Island is a wonderful place to connect with community.

Samish Island Community Center (SICC) and Board

All Island residents and property owners over 18 years old are members of SICC.  The SICC Board is elected by the membership and coordinates Island events, holds fundraisers, maintains the community hall, and guides its rentals.

Arts Festival Committee

The Arts Festival Committee of SICC organizes the Summer Arts Festival and welcomes all comers to join the Committee to help with planning the event.  Monthly meetings begin every January and continue through the August wrap-up meeting.  Many hands and varied talents are needed to help out with this big event.  Email: SamishArtsFest@gmail.com.

The Samish Island Fiber Circle

This is an inclusive bi-weekly group that gathers every other Friday in the Samish Island Community Center to craft. Currently, it is a morning/early afternoon, come-when-you-can event. All fiber arts are welcome, including: knitting, crochet, sewing, embroidery, needlepoint, weaving, and spinning. If you’d like to join the email list for this group, please email Kayla at: a.connotation@gmail.com.

The Samish Island Book Club

The SI book club meets one evening a month at the Samish Island Community Center for riveting, respectful discussion of a book chosen by group vote. Members are interested in a wide range of genres from contemporary fiction to memoirs and non-fiction. If you’d like to join the group, please reach out to Kayla at a.connotation@gmail.com or Wendy at wjsedlacek@gmail.com.
