Hallowe'en Message from TIPA

Unfortunately TIPA is unable to host a costume parade at Forbes Hall for the community this Halloween. Anyone wishing to welcome trick-or-treaters to their door should put a lit jack-o-lantern at the bottom of their driveway or at a location visible from the road.

Thanks

Ride Needed to Nanaimo ~ Oct 15th

This is Anaïs, from Jollity Farm. My friend Clair and I will need to get to Nanaimo on Tuesday, October 15th, and we were wondering whether we could hitch a ride from Thetis with anyone?

We would need to get there around 12 noon, but we don't mind getting there earlier or a little later.

Contact:anais.gerber@network.rca.ac.uk or 250-416-6736.

Thanks in advance!
