BOO! Hallowe’en at Forbes Hall this Year!

Thursday, October 31st from 6:00 until 7:30

It has been many, many years since there was a Hallowe’en event at Forbes Hall. With good wishes from TIVFD, we are happy to welcome all ages to a fun, family Hallowe’en get-together.

A warm, safe, dry space to share costume creativity with islanders, and a place to give treats to the kids!

There will be a costume parade with a photo backdrop followed by a Trick or Treat line – for all those islanders who want to participate. Plus, a couple of fun games, along with hot-dogs, juice, hot beverages and baked goodies.

Anyone wanting to help with this event please contact Ann Dickie at dickie.ann@gmail.com or David Reay at davidreay@telus.net

Help Needed with Water Tank

We have a couple of the 300 water storage containers behind our cabin. We need help first to be able to access the water via a hose arrangement, and second, need to construct a filtering system. We got some advice from Graeme Shelford as to a design for the filtering system - but will need help constructing it.

In addition to the water storage tanks behind the cabin - we have another water storage tank that needs to be placed and hooked up to our roof drainage system of the cottage further down our lane.

Please contact me via 604 790 9721 or by email: pdmills@mining.ubc.ca

Lobster Mushrooms Wanted

Hello, dear neighbours!

It seems my love for Lobster mushrooms has outpaced the supply on my little patch of earth. If any of you happen to have these glorious, decadent fungi growing on your property and aren't planning a mushroom feast anytime soon, I'd be delighted to pop by and harvest them (with the utmost respect, of course).

Please help a hungry mushroom enthusiast out!
