Forbes Hall Spring Clean-Up – Thank You

Thank you to everyone who came to the Spring Clean Up Saturday at Forbes Hall.

Twenty-five enthusiastic volunteers washed windows, picnic tables, weeded, trimmed, watered, swept, spread mulch, met new people and enjoyed lunch together

The windows, grounds, gardens and sports court look fantastic.

Septic Pump-out Service

I am looking to schedule a septic pump-out service.

If anyone else on the island requires this service, I would be interested in coordinating to share the travel cost of the truck.

Please let me know if you are interested or know anyone who might be.

Best regards,
Mike Dufort

Forbes Hall – Please Remember to Close Doors!

Over the past week we’ve had a few incidents of doors being left open, not just unlocked but wide open!

Beautiful weather has us enjoying doors and windows open, but when leaving the hall please make sure it is secure.

If you or someone in your activity opens a door for access or fresh air, check all are closed before leaving. You can even do a quick door tour when you’re the last person leaving the hall, just to check.

Thanks for keeping the hall busy and alive with activities and all the other things that happen there!
