Sincere thank you's to all the participating groups and to everyone who attended Thetis Community Day on Saturday.
Rooms full of activity, folks re-connecting and meeting anew, with conversations and sharing of valuable island information, made the day a great success. Representatives were on hand from more than 30 island organizations and groups reflecting the myriad activities and programs offered on the island: from yoga and Tai chi to the volunteer fire department to government agencies to our new paramedic services and so much more. For newcomers to Thetis, it was an eye-opener just how energetic this community is and the wide range of opportunities for participation and volunteerism. For longer-term islanders, the event reminded us of the enrichment these various organizations and their volunteers bring to our lives on Thetis.
With over 90 lunches served and the beverage and treats counter busy all day, it was great to see so many islanders enjoying themselves. Thank you to the Food Services volunteers!
Thanks to all who contributed door prizes, the winners were congratulated with happy cheers.
A seed of an idea blossomed into a beneficial and welcoming day for our community.
