Accommodation Wanted

We have a wedding coming up at Pioneer Pacific and some of our guests are looking for accommodation.
We are looking for two nights - June 14th and 15th.

We have a family of 4 (two adults & two children), one couple, and a single older woman.
If you have any room and would be able to rent it out to these guests, please let us know at:

Ukrainian Fundraiser at Forbes Hall May 25th

Thank you for your support thus far for the upcoming Fundraising Dinner. 

We express our gratitude for the contributions sent by those unable to attend the dinner. Your donations will make a significant difference in the lives of those in need, especially since it is uncommon for donations from distant places to reach the frontlines of relief directly. Recent donations have purchased food, hygiene supplies including diapers, toys for children, power banks, pet food, and paid for the digging of a well.  People are very grateful.

Please remember that your attendance is a donation in itself.

We decided to hold a dinner for this cause because we were made aware of the immediate impact of these donations on the communities receiving relief, and it felt like a good fit for the kindness of Thetis Islanders. Last year, TICA held a Community Dinner at this time, which was heart-warming and joyful for both guests and volunteers. So why not put them together and create an evening of sunshine and light to help others? 

A dedicated group of volunteers quickly responded to the call, and the menu will be like last spring's Community Dinner. With a buffet meeting most dietary needs, there will be a fabulous array of salads for all to enjoy, along with roast chicken and focaccia. To honour Ukraine's culinary culture, there will be a delicious Holbutsi appetizer. Additionally, there will be a no-host bar for guests to enjoy a beverage with dinner.

We look forward to a lively evening of Thetis Islanders enjoying a great meal while raising funds to help others.
