Spring Fling Clothing Exchange

Saturday, 2 May, 11am-1pm @Forbes Hall

My daughter has added some children's toys to her donation. Are you looking for a castle or fort?

Do you happen to have some sheets or towels you are tired of or no longer match your bathroom or bedroom?

My clothing rod in my closet broke the other day so I know I need to get at cleaning out my closet. How about you?

The Spring Fling Clothing Exchange is a great opportunity to clean out your closet, totes or attic and share with others in our community.

Volunteers will be needed to make this all happen.

Donations can be dropped off between 8:30 - 10:30am

9am - 11am -- sort donated items onto the tables

11am - 1pm -- help keep tables organized

1pm - 1:30 -- pack up remaining items for donation to the Thrift Store

Please contact me if you can volunteer for any of these duties. Also, if you have a clothing rack to share that would be great. Maybe some hangers.

Thank you to those that have offered their clothing racks. I am grateful that the Chemainus Thrift Store is changing their clothes hangers and I was able to pick up quite a few.

Thank you to those that have already volunteered.
Still looking for some more volunteers.

Please apply on-line for your campfire permit for May with your name, lot number, contact phone, and affirmation that you have read and will comply with the campfire safety regulations. Visit www.thetisislandfire.ca for the regulations. 

There will be NO permits issued for Yard Waste fires, burn barrels and other outdoor fires other than regulation-size evening campfires in May. 

Evening campfires do not require consulting the Venting Index.

We have entered wildfire season early this year. Starting May 1st, please report any outdoor daytime smoke columns to 911. The latest Vancouver Island wildfire was human caused, in Coombs, over the weekend. The forecast for this summer is for hotter and drier conditions than last year.

Reminder: Thetis Eco Share Shop (located at Telegraph Harbor Marina & Store)

Hi, Islanders,

We have been so pleased with the many recycled usable materials that have passed through the shop in the form of usable goods and financial contributions in the donation box. 

We just would like to remind you we are not accepting clothing or books since these could mold and decay. Books such as help manuals are gratefully accepted.

Also, no items that are not in season such as Christmas ornaments in March.

Also, no broken or soiled items.  

If your items remain for a long time, please pick them up to take to the thrift stores. 

We are very thankful for the wonderful support and the efforts everyone is making to reduce reuse and recycle. 

With gratitude.

Tess and Richard DeMarco

Farewell

After spending 8 wonderful years on Thetis Island, we made the difficult decision that it was time to move. We made it mostly to be closer to our families.

We are sorry to be leaving all the wonderful people on the island and will really miss the community spirit that makes Thetis such a special place.

Our house is now sold, and new owners will be moving in next month. We have bought a home in Parksville and although it’s not as quiet as Thetis, there is also quite a sense of community there.

We wanted to thank you all for making us feel included and welcome. Thetis Island has been a sanctuary in this crazy world we live, and we will truly miss it.
