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!

Boats & Swimmer Safety

Hey.  Wonderful summer we are all having.   Great to see so many folks having fun in the water.

I have a  request.  Could people in motor boats especially the water skiers please respect those of us who swim paddle etc off their properties near the public dock.   At the Cunningham road  properties there were about 10 or more swimmers and a  dog in the water and 3 different boats came in very close to those of us swimming.  We all are  swimmers in that area and many of us swim out to our mooring  buoys several times a day.

Thanks for your consideration.

Our Cat is Walkabout

Our 4 yr old tabby cat, Juniper, has been missing since early August.  Please keep an eye out for her, and contact us with any sightings.  

This is not an unusual length of time for a well-acclimatized cat in her own environment to be away, so we are still actively awaiting her return.

Many thanks

Noisy Fire Drill ~ August 23rd

The TIVFD will have a short training drill on chainsaw handling and cutting for our new FF members this coming Wednesday after 7pm. Although still in EXTREME Hazard, this training needs to take place and we will have the rest of the Fire Dept. and members standing by with the Fire Engine and charged hoses. Fire Dept. training is exempt from the High Risk Activities prohibitions because of the immediate Fire Dept. response on-site. However, we wanted you to know that you may hear a chainsaw intermittently between 7:30 and 8 pm on Wednesday coming from the gravel apron outside Central Hall. We are training hard to keep our community safe.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
