Krista Bouchey has been hired as Executive Director of The Funhouse Commons. Since last August, Bouchey has served as the interim director, before that serving the non-profit organization as programs
director. “Krista’s keen intellect and heartfelt care for the kids has enhanced The Funhouse Commons greatly,” said the Board of Directors. The Funhouse serves as a hub for community youth through the following essential programs: The After-School Program (M-F 3:15-5:30), The Mentor Program, Teen Night (now called Friday Night Hangout), and Educational Programs, including online classes through the high school, SAT and college prep and Music Together® for children ages zero to five. The FHC board says in Bouchey’s time at The
Funhouse, attendance of the After-School Program has doubled and Friday Night Hangout is “flourishing, well-attended, and meaningful for Orcas teens.” “Everyday I see an island child thrive in our unique and innovative environment,” Bouchey said. “The Funhouse is an amazing organization to be a part of. It has a rich history on the island, and it is great that we are now seeing the successful adults that have grown up with our organization.” The Funhouse is gearing up for Summer Camp, The One World Music Festival, the FC5- 4th of July 5K race, and its annual fundraising Gala.
