A huge thank-you is given to all who participated, & to all of those who “made it happen”.

It was a great event with so many involved for the dinner, trivia night, and the walk.  T-shirts were on most, proudly being part of a caring, Thetis Island team.

While the final amount this event has raised towards the Forbes Hall Expansion has not yet been determined, one thing is for sure ~ it truly takes a village to raise a hall.

Also, a reminder to all who took photos, please email any you’d like to share to hall@thetisisland.net
