Calling All Bakers!
ORCA will again be offering DESSERTS during Tunes at The Pool.
We are looking for a few more neighbors willing to bake cookies or bars to be sold at the events (schedule below). All proceeds will benefit the MGDG’s 'Tiny House' project for the
Veteran's Welcome Home Center.
The baked goods should be bagged to weigh about 4 oz. per bag (typically ~4 cookies). Any quantity of bags is gratefully accepted. Please clearly mark what is inside, especially if there are any nuts!
If you can help, please contact Joan Griffith at: 301-275-9948 or jkg3k@yahoo.com with the date/dates you wish to participate.

Next Hospice Doll meeting :
Wednesday, May 14th
Please join us for our next meeting, Wednesday, May 14th from 1:00-3:00 at the RIDGE CENTER. We will be in the Heron Room.
We work together to cut fabric, sew and stuff these adorable dolls. Faces are drawn on, hair is added and each is dressed in a shirt and shorts.
These items are delivered to Lower Cape Fear LifeCare and other Brunswick County non-profits where they bring great comfort to clients and families.
All are welcome to join the fun. No sewing skills required. All materials are provided.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

ORCA Trivia Nite THANK YOU!
Ocean Ridge Charities Association (ORCA) extends a HUGE Thank You to the 160 neighbors who joined us for Trivia Nite to 'Celebrate Firsts & New Beginnings' at the Ridge Campus Center on March 29th.
Congrats to the winning team (pictured below): Deb & Bob Cross, Marie & Dan McIntyre, Kim & Phil Pirro and Joan & Fitz Read.
Congrats also to Elizabeth Arnold who won the 50/50 raffle.
But the real winner was Hope Harbor Home… Brunswick county’s only 24/7 domestic violence shelter which will receive a $6,100 donation to help them break the cycle of domestic and sexual violence through safe shelter, advocacy, and education.
Special shout out to the Men’s Grilled Dinner Group for the awesome chicken & pulled pork! And to our friends at Mission BBQ for the side dishes.
And also 'thank you!' to the many ORCA Service Club members who helped setup, serve, run the game and clean up. We could not do this without you!
