Daytime low tides are a highlight this time of year!
The first few days of warmer weather have finally arrived and the summer calendar of community events is filling up. I love this feeling of anticipation of what’s to come – the school year ending, spring greens popping up in gardens, afternoons at the lake, and family vacations and gatherings to look forward to.
Throughout the summer, as you enjoy the bevy of activity, I hope you consider how the events, parades, dances, summer camps, and concerts you enjoy came together, how the healthy forests and beaches and trails are preserved and maintained, and how the community buildings where weddings and potlucks are held are sustained. Chances are, a nonprofit organization is involved, and they rely on the support of community volunteers and generous donations. Can you imagine an island summer without these experiences? I can’t.
With all the activity ahead, we have a new tool to make giving back easier. You can now set up a recurring monthly gift to show your ongoing support to the community on our website. Please take a look at the wide variety of funds available and set up your first monthly gift today. Donor Advised Fund holders can also set up recurring grants in the Fund Advisor Portal.
Hope to see you out enjoying all that our island has to offer!
