Dear San Juan Islanders,
CT has closed. While the property owners’ dream of CT as a permanent nonprofit recycling center has gone by the wayside, a new door for others has opened, and we, as property owners, are free of the time-consuming duties of CT’s nonprofit oversight and operations.
Copper Calhoun has worked under the Trustees’ supervision for 17 years running CT operations. Red Jungert has worked for 33 years under the Trustees’ supervision: 20 years for CT and 13 years for Island Wholesale Products (IWP). After CT’s closure was announced, Copper and Red stated that they wanted to keep some form of a thrift shop operational at the site to serve our island community’s needs. In 2025, Copper and Red will be opening a new business called “Treasure Chest Sales and Services.” We wish them luck in their new endeavor, and we hope you will support them in their journey.
I have read on Facebook that they will open on January 2nd, 2025 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61571109871176
Respectfully,
Frank and Patricia Penwell
