The 2013 issue of the popular Whidbey Island Almanac published by Whidbey Island’s three community newspapers is in the works.

The Almanac includes everything newcomers to the island need to know – and a lot of things old-timers didn’t know or have forgotten.

It’s distributed inside the newspapers and over the course of the year at various outlets throughout the island.

The Almanac includes an extensive listing of non-profit clubs and organizations covering all of Whidbey Island.

Anyone wishing to be included, or who wants to change information from last year’s issue, should send an email as soon as possible to jlarsen@whidbeynewsgroup.com.

For information about advertising, contact Lee Ann Mozes (North and Central Whidbey) at 360-675-6611 or Kim Winjum (South Whidbey) at 360-221-5300.

The Almanac will be printed in January.
