Porter Family Property

You may have noticed that a locked gate has gone up at the Porter family property (former Camp Columbia). While it is intended that there be future licensed access on foot over certain trails, for now the property remains private with restricted access for reasons of liability.  Please respect any signage.  The family thanks the residents of Thetis Island for their patience while a plan is developed to permit access on this private property. Watch Espokes for future related notices.'

Sincerely,

The steering committee

Christmas Concert Helpers wanted

The concert program is coming along nicely, the line up is quite musical, with a bit of reading and Carol singing in between.   What I am missing is a Kitchen group. Basically a few people who will receive goodies, put them and cups on the cart and then bring it all out after the entertainment is over. If you think you would like to help out, please contact Simone Luckham 250 - 246- 4802 

THANK YOU SO MUCH !

And just in case you missed the details, the concert takes place at the Community Centre, Thursday, 8th of December at 7 pm. A plate of goodies to share and a non perishable food item for the food bank collection would be wonderful.

Housesitting Offer

Recently I posted a message about work/accommodation on Thetis. It was suggested to me to also post my services to house sit on Thetis... something I have done extensively in northern Canada where people have to have good housesitters so their houses don't freeze up while they are away. So I come with many excellent references and have been a good friend to many animals. I am down from the north after sustaining injuries in a fall a year ago and while I am healed, I am wanting to avoid black ice and another fall. Also have an aging parent in Chemainus who I would like to visit a little more often . If you need someone to take care of your house and animals in the next little while, please email me...nancyvail@hotmail.com and I will send references. Thank you.
