Overflow Accommodation for Overbury Weddings ~

Accommodation is required for two weddings that Overbury Resort is hosting in July.

The couples have booked all B&Bs that are listed so I am inquiring to see if there are any other possible options.

On July 6th accommodation is needed for one couple.

For the July 13th wedding,  accommodation is needed for:

• one couple and their mother for 2 nights
• one couple for 1 night
• one couple and their baby for 1 night

If you have any space to accommodate these guests we would very much appreciate your assistance.

This is the first time in many, many years that we do not have sufficient accommodation.

We hired a water taxi in years past but the cost has increased so significantly that it is no longer a reasonable choice.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Bike to Work Week

Next week is Bike to Work Week throughout BC and we can enter a team (or teams) from Thetis.

The good news is you don't have to bike or work to take part. But, at the least, you have to walk where you might otherwise drive. For example, bridge club members or people who attend community church could walk to their respective gatherings. My friend Jan Slakov, a dedicated year-round cyclist, is helping coordinate this special week on the Gulf Islands. Here's how to register. Go to the www.biketowork.ca website. Click on the “Browse my community” button at the top of the page and then on “Salt Spring and other Gulf Islands”. Then follow the simple directions for registering. If you have any problems, please get in touch with Jan at 1-250 537-5251 – janslakov@shaw.ca .Then, from May 27 – June 2, keep track of about how many km you walk or cycle and log it in on the website (or send your data in to Jan).

Thanks

And then there was a party...
