Abandoned Jackets ~ please retrieve if yours...

Now and then we have a really warm day. Perhaps this is why there are three jackets left in Forbes Hall's foyer. They have been hanging there for a few months....one is a Dakota Black & Tan, another a man's reversible Black/Plaid and lastly, a woman's Misty Mountain Turquoise small size one.

If any of these are yours, please drop by the Hall for retrieval.

Moss Removal Help Needed

Needed strong men to help little old me to take the moss off of the Community Hall roof. The more men that volunteer the sooner they will let me off the roof. All you have to do is come to our Community Clean-up on June 8th and mention you want to be "up on the roof" with Gloria.

I have had an e-mail that challenges all other groups that use the hall to show up to the "clean-up" and see who gets the job done faster! Hmm those are fighting words! So if you are up to a challenge bring along your group and we will see who wins this race!

Thanks Everyone

Gloria Taylor

Editor's Note:  I am sure that if there are strong women who want to help out with this job, that Ms. Taylor would more than happy to have you meet with her on the roof...

Annual Forbes Hall Clean-Up ~

June 8th 9AM - 3PM

We need volunteers to come out on Saturday June 8th to help with the yearly clean-up of Forbes Hall. No experience necessary we will provide on site training! Learn a new trade, you never know when it will come in handy! All you have to do is show up and we will hand you a to do list. It's that easy!

Jobs Available Are As Follows:

Garden Clean-up- We need a few people to help with this job, so if you like gardening bring assorted tools to help. 

Outside of the Hall- We need someone to touch-up some paint as well as clean the gutters and a few other assorted jobs. 

Inside of the Hall- this will be the main focus this year as our hall needs a lot of TLC. We will be washing windows, walls, floors as well as capturing those elusive dust bunnies.

All persons with items in the back storage room will have to remove and organize your materials. This storage area will also need a good cleaning so come prepared to roll up your sleeves.

And if we have time we would like to see the tennis court cleaned up so if you use the tennis court and would like to help that would be wonderful.

For those hard workers lunch will be prepared and served by Don and Nettie. Coffee and tea and baked goodies will also be served.

Bring gloves, knee pads, drinking water, elbow grease and a good sense of humour!!! 

For more information contact Gloria @ 250-246-3091 or quackf@telus.net

Thanks. See you there.
