For the last  year, we have been searching for suitable energy efficient LED lights to replace our current incandescent lighting.

Early this year, we identified two fixtures that meet our needs and save about 90% of the  power of our existing lighting.  In April we applied for a $15,000 grant from the Orcas Island Community Foundation.  We have already invested  $3,000 received from donations so our balance was $12,000.

Last week we received a grant from OICF for $12,000 to enable us to finish this project in a few weeks rather than the years it would have taken otherwise.  We will have then installed and in operation by the time you  see our next full production at the Grange.  We will also use these lights in our summer Readers Theater program.

THANKS TO ALL WHO DONATED TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE!!!!
