Hallowe'en Message from TIPA

Unfortunately TIPA is unable to host a costume parade at Forbes Hall for the community this Halloween. Anyone wishing to welcome trick-or-treaters to their door should put a lit jack-o-lantern at the bottom of their driveway or at a location visible from the road.

Thanks

Ride Needed to Nanaimo ~ Oct 15th

This is Anaïs, from Jollity Farm. My friend Clair and I will need to get to Nanaimo on Tuesday, October 15th, and we were wondering whether we could hitch a ride from Thetis with anyone?

We would need to get there around 12 noon, but we don't mind getting there earlier or a little later.

Contact:anais.gerber@network.rca.ac.uk or 250-416-6736.

Thanks in advance!

Thetis Island Community Fund ~ October Fundraising Campaign

Since 2006 the Thetis Island Community Fund has helped Islanders with short-term medical treatment, services for seniors, education at all levels and support to other charities that benefit Thetis Islanders. Thanks to your generosity the Fund has been successful in meeting many of these needs.

Each October the Community Fund makes an appeal for donations.  We hope that this year you will once again show your generosity by donating to the Fund. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference in the lives of our friends and neighbours who find themselves in need.

There are three ways to donate: Send a cheque payable to the Thetis Island Community Fund to TICF, Box 12-14, Thetis Island, BC, V0R 2Y0; click here to donate through our website using the security of PayPal; or if you annually give to the United Way, designate the Thetis Island Community Fund on your United Way form. Canada Revenue Agency tax receipts will be issued for all donations. 

Thank you so much for your continued support of the Thetis Island Community Fund.
