Car for Sale & Other Items

Hi Thetis islanders :) I have a Black Chevy Cavalier that was kindly sold to me for cheaper than its worth when I was in need and I'd like to pay it forward now that I've up graded.  Does anyone need a very reliable beater car?

I got new front breaks done and put a new battery in it, the tires are almost new as well.  Both heater and AC work just fine. 

It started up every time and runs really well, no fluid leaks and all exterior lights work. 

The hood is dented from a little deer but otherwise the only thing wrong with the exterior is that the paint is fading.

Phone Book Reminder

Many thanks to all those who have sent in their information for the new phone book.  This is just a reminder that I need to hear from everyone, not just those whose information has changed.  Otherwise, I have no way of knowing if you have a) seen this reminder, or b) actually checked the 2016 book to be sure it's correct.  So, thanks in advance for all those still to come...

2018 Thetis Island Phone Book

The hunt is on!  I need to hear from everyone on the island, and those who own property here, if there are any changes to the information in the current (2016) edition of the phone book.  AND I especially need to hear from those who have come to the island since then, who are not in the current book.  We do not publish any information you don't want in there, but as a community resource, it's only as good as the information in it.  Please don't leave us with outdated numbers or addresses!  And if you have new neighbours who might not get this espokes, could you please let me or them know about this request?  Many thanks!
