We need some hanging folders for Forbes Hall filing cabinets! Trying to get better organized! Legal size would be great, but we might be able to use letter size as well.
Drop them off at the Hall or email donella123@aol.com for pick up.
Sunday, October 7, 2012 at 8:37AM Thanks to all that turned out last night for the inaugral Supper's On. It was a successful evening, with lots of visiting around our new tables at the hall, and judging by the plates that were "licked clean", folks were happy with their meal.
The Soup's On format lent the evening a warm, easy ambience. We're really looking forward to the next one, November 3rd.

Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at 8:25PM Thank you all for continuing your fire safety vigilance in this unprecedented dry period. The Cowichan Valley, including Thetis Island and Salt Spring Island continue to be rated EXTREME HAZARD (5) due to the minimal precipitation, drying winds, low recovery rates (relative humidity over night) and the length of time the forest has been drying out. I know that many of you like to get your autumn yard cleanup underway by this time of year but circumstances are forcing us to continue to prohibit all outdoor fires including burn barrels, incinerators, campfires, industrial clearing, and fireworks. Propane and charcoal briquette BBQs with no wood and no sparks are still allowed but extra precaution is needed when operating them. They cannot be left unattended and there must be a water supply at the BBQ site. The nights are much cooler now so many homes are starting to use their indoor wood-stoves and fire places. Please minimize sparks and make sure your chimney has been properly cleaned and serviced. The TIVFD thanks you for your support in lowering the risk of fire this summer and for the next few weeks as we wait for the usual autumn dump of continuous rain. My understanding is that we have broken the record this year for a September dry spell which stood for 160 years. The latest Coastal Fire Weather Forecast predicts yet another week of this dry pattern until at least the 14th. The daily Fire Weather Forecast can be viewed on the TIVFD website http://www.thetisislandfire.ca/fire%20weather%20forecasts/Fcst.pdf and on the Thetis Island Community Blog ~ click here

Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at 10:53AM Due to the unusually dry weather conditions, we have decided to
postpone the Slope and Bank Restoration workshop at the Community
Learning Garden until late February or early March.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like more information
about the workshop.
With thanks,

If you are already registered for 2012, thank you! Thousands of people will practice earthquake safety and get prepared this year... because you, your organization, or your school is leading the way.
If you participated last year but have not yet renewed your registration for 2012, please log in today at shakeoutbc.ca/login. We encourage you or your organization to do more this year: this could mean holding a more comprehensive drill, securing furniture and other objects to minimize injury and damage, or updating your emergency plans and supplies.
