Gathering of the Eagles Benefit and Art Auction

The annual Gathering of the Eagles Canoe Journey will come to Orcas Island May 21-23! We look forward to the canoes arriving at the Olga Landing around 2 pm on Wed, May 21, followed by the community potluck around 5 pm at the Olga Community Club, in which we hope you will participate!

After the canoe pullers leave Orcas, they will paddle to the mainland and on to Bellingham. In order to raise funds for the mainland part of the journey, the Gathering of the Eagles organizer is holding an art auction benefit on each of the three major San Juan Islands. The Orcas event will be on Friday, April 4, from 5-7 pm at the Oddfellows Hall, and will include art from Native American artists as well as local artists.
