Our Community’s Heart

On a morning like this with rain pelting the windowpanes, my thoughts go to completing the expansion and renovation of Forbes Hall. Everyone who’s made time to tour the project is excited by the possibilities of what the Hall will offer.   Instead of rushing around putting outdoor furniture away, I could be looking for my best dancing shoes for a Friday nite dinner and dance. 

No one wants to borrow money to finish the job. As a member of the TICA Board and project management team we have looked at every option we can think of, crazy or not, inside or outside the box to complete the project without borrowing. In the end, I go on hope. Hope that the desire for a beautiful, well designed, multi option space where we can get together (it is the only public building on the Island) will result in a positive vote. As Thetis Islanders have done before, let's MAKE IT HAPPEN.
