Soup's On - Wednesday, December 3rd

11:30 am until 1:00 pm

Gather at Forbes Hall for a very Thetis Island lunch…

Menu:
Creamy Vegetarian Tortilla Soup
Toppings include – tortillas, sour cream, cheddar
Corn Bread
Assorted Treats
Coffee & Teas

Suggested donation of $7 for soup, bread, treats and teas & coffee.

Soup’s On is entirely carried out by volunteers and, as one of the tasks is the program’s accounting, please do not pay with coins smaller than Loonies and Toonies, as all change must be counted and rolled.

For those who find large groups challenging, enjoy your lunch in this week’s designated quiet room, the Boardroom.

Everyone is welcome to join us. Seniors, seniors who don’t think they’re seniors, workers, families, and everyone who just wants a mid-day meal!

Menu remainders for take-out when available. Soup’s On also supports the Thetis Island Food Pantry.

Coupon Booklets of 10 for your convenience, $70.00

The Soup’s On Team

From Christmas Market 2025 Committee

Once again, a huge success! Big thanks to all the vendors who filled the hall with their clever creations. And to the kitchen staff who put on such a delicious lunch, hot drinks and treats to fill us up. And to the many, many shoppers who came, saw and bought!

You all made it an enjoyable and social event.

And prizes! Basket #1 - Tetyana Katayeva, Basket #2 - Morgan Bouchard. Diane Joslyn was only 3 off the jellybean count! Hourly draws - Sue French, Theresa Elsie, Rebekah Schwartzentnerber and Pat Slade.

Holiday Concert

The Christmas Market has been a successful start to the season, and the Holiday Concert will continue the fun next Saturday, December 6.

At 3:00, the concert begins followed by cookies and juice for everyone before heading home for dinner. Bring a plate of cookies to share if you like.

If you are able, please drop by Forbes Hall at 12:30 Saturday afternoon to help set up the stage and chairs, and if you finally have your act together, we can probably still fit it into the concert line-up.

Contact Margaret at slowrando@yahoo.ca for your place in the spotlight.

From the Library…

A Friend of the Library is available Sunday 1-4 and Tuesday 12-1.
