Wednesday, July 19, 2017 at 11:16PM We are visiting my parents on Thetis Island (Forbes Rd) next week (July 25/26/27) and we are hoping to borrow a paddle(s) board for my 11-year-old daughter and her girlfriend. Something she can play around with for a few days so not needing anything in great condition!
Email cmitchell@inventaworld.com or call 604 353-3806.
Thanks!

A Day to Appreciate Our Friends & Family in the Community
The Thetis Island Family Fun Day is going to be an afternoon and early evening of games and activities for all ages!
A DJ in the tennis courts playing all sorts of music. Activities and games. Face painting.
BBQ with hamburgers & hotdogs, non-alcoholic beverages and ice cream bars.
There will be a balloon sale and a silent pie auction! And oh my....a dunk tank!!
Guests are also asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Chemainus Food Bank.
This event is jointly hosted by the Thetis Island Community Association and the Thetis Island Community Fund.
The monies raised at the Family Fun Day will support these two community based organizations so they may continue their valuable contributions to the island.
Can hardly wait to see you there!!
