Thanks & Looking for New Volunteer ~

The Thetis Island Community Fund would like to thank Pat English for her weekly summarizing, printing and posting of the e-spokes that many of you read on the notice board at the ferry dock. Pat also prints and distributes a copy each week for those without a home computer. Pat has competently provided this service for the last 7 years and would like to retire!

Reimbursement of printing costs are provided by TICF. 

If you are interested in volunteering your time to continue this valuable community service,

please contact Ellen Rush or Tricia Hunter.

Camp Columbia Property Open House

This Sunday Oct.9, 1:00-3:30 (come when it suits you!)

This event is designed to be very open and fluid~ an opportunity to engage in conversation around the potential for this beautiful property, as well as explore the grounds. However, at 2:00 pm there will be a scheduled time for the Porter family to share their story and vision for the property, as well as for anyone else who might wish to share memories, thoughts, and ideas with the whole group. So you may want to plan your attendance around that.

Also, if you are not able to attend the event, or you wish to take more time in formulating any input or feedback, please feel free to submit your thoughts in writing by Oct.31 either by email: thinc@thetisisland.net;  or by mail/drop box to PO Box 18-2, Thetis Island, BC V0R 2Y0. 

With Thanks,

the steering committee
