When we moved to Thetis Island from Victoria in 1998 we were looking for “community”, you know… a place where everybody and everything is connected. You’re a part of an interesting fabric of ideas, people and special places.  One of those special places in our community is Forbes Hall.

I like to fix things and build stuff… so the fit with my skills and the need to maintain the Hall was natural.   Reflecting on this I find that I can think of no better place to put my energy over the years.  The Hall has always been a place memories are made.  Celebrations of lives lived and little ones newly arrived, a place where gifts are shared, in so many ways, and more often than not with a plate of great food! 

How often are you able to contribute to something so close to home that touches and improves the lives of so many people.  I have given countless hours to Forbes Hall over the last 20 years and am so pleased to do so.  I look forward to many years of Forbes Hall gifting everyone back.
