Join us for this popular summer evening jointly hosted by the Thetis Island Community Association and Thetis Island Community Fund. Funds from the Soiree support these two community-based organizations so they may continue their valuable contributions to the Island. TICA maintains Forbes Hall and grounds so that all Islanders may participate in social, fitness and educational activities offered at the center.  The Community Fund supports the community in the areas of education, health care, senior services and the ability to support charitable organizations that benefit Thetis Islanders.

Don’t be disappointed. Last year’s event was sold out! Buy your tickets now!
