Look forward to a little taste of Mexico at The Taco Wagon, open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. If you’re not in the mood for a meal, then grab a cup of coffee at the Whidbey Coffee Shack, open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and 7 a.m. to1 p.m. on Fridays.

Campus closed
There will be no school on President’s Day (Monday, February 18.) It is a federal holiday to remember and honor the birthdays of our county’s first President, George Washington, as well as President Abraham Lincoln. President’s day is known more as a day off from school, to possibly go enjoy a number of big money discounts, and sales at various shopping centers. Most communities present historical celebrations honoring Purple Heart recipients and local veterans.

Blanket drive for the homeless
Phi Theta Kappa is having a lanket drive from Feb. 8 to Mar. 8. Some donation sites will be in the library, the gym and the bookstore. Just look for red boxes around campus.

All donated blankets will go the Union Gospel mission, who will distribute them to the homeless. The Union Gospel Mission has a search-and-rescue van that goes out at night to distribute blankets to the less fortunate. (For more information abut the search-and-rescue van, visit www. ugm.org.)

Many of these people have unexpected medical problems and mounting bills that leave them out of a job. Without work, entire families can be forced out to the streets. Please bring in your spare blankets. Just one blanket can make a difference for a human being hovering between life and death on a cold winter night.
