Orkila Can Act!

Orkilans Excel Onstage

Orkila Alumni Eli Zavatsky and Andrew Guy performed a bit of Shakespeare over the last two weeks, as they helped Garfield High School put on a modern rendition of "As You Like It."

A huge kudos to these gentlemen and a big thank you to Garfield High School for an excellent show. For their next showing check out http://garfieldstage.org/.

Eli was an Orkila Summer Intern this past summer where he practised his theatrics and antics for his role as Touchstone the clown. Andrew excelled as Charles, the wrestler, and was a Counselor in Training this past summer.

If you know of Orkilans who are active in the community, who would like to share their excellence, please e-mail djarashow@seattleymca.org with the story.

In the news AGAIN!

Orkila was in the news again! This time, on King 5. The story aired on this morning's broadcast. It's also been replayed throughout the day on NWCN. Wow! Here's the link:


Also, today is the LAST day to vote for Orkila via the Evening Magazine's Best of Western Washington & Northwest Escapes. Last time the results were visible, we were in the lead. However, they turned off the ability to see the progress - so your vote is super important! We'll keep you posted on the final results, to be announced May 4th.
