Gyotaku Update

Many thanks to all those who came out for the Gyotaku - Fish Printing at the Nature House on Saturday.

To permanently fix the paints onto the shirt use  your iron for a couple of minutes to heat set the paint. Do not wash for a number of days.

Family Fun Day

A big thank you to all you fellow islanders who came out to support the Family Fun Day on August 12^th.  The joint fundraiser hosted by the Thetis Island Community Association and the Thetis Island Community Fund was a great success!  Our goal this year was to provide a family friendly, affordable and fun community gathering.  Thanks to the 100 or so folks who attended, we raised roughly $2,200, which will help TICA cover hall expenses and help the TICF support islanders in need of health care, education and senior care. 

The dunk tank was a great hit!  Special thanks to Kat Urton for enduring the dunk tank for several hours and Chad Kerr for taking a turn in the tank as well.  Bill Sharp was literally the coolest grandpa to attend the event as he perched himself on the unnerving seat and gave his grandchildren a chance to dunk him a few times.  Fun was had by all!

Thank you to all who donated prizes and pies, the balloon sale and silent pie auction were a great success.  Thank you, Cat Fielding and Aislinn Cottell for providing the fish tank and face painting activities.  Many laughs were had by kids, grandkids and grandparents during the games held in the school field.

A heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers who helped make the Family Fun Day happen; Nicole Chiasson (lead organizer), Don Sinclair, Tricia Hunter, Chad Kerr, Ron Bannister, Matt Hess, Dee Smith, Ken Redman, Lynn Hunter, Anne-Marie Koeppen, Stephanie Cottell, our DJ Robin and many others who worked behind the scenes and chipped in to help during the event!

It may be too early to say but I think this island could use another Family Fun Day again next year!
