2024 Thetis Island Calendar - Sold Out

Thank you to everyone who recently purchased the new 2024 calendar.

150 copies of the calendar were printed and all 150 were sold.

The calendars were purchased for personal use and also as gifts for family and friends near and far.

Thanks to all the photographers who shared their photos and captured beautiful and memorable images from our island.

If you'd like to purchase cards, there are still some available with photographs from the calendar project. Individual cards are $4 with a set of 4 cards for $15.00

These will be available for purchase at Soups On, this Wednesday, December 6th.

Net proceeds from the calendar sales go towards TICA’s debt reduction program.

A huge thank you to all who took part in the Thetis Island Christmas Market.

To those who agreed to have a table - you outdid yourselves with your creativity!

To those who spent hours making us wonderful eats and drinks - you sustained us and made us want more!

To those who came and shopped - we saw lots of happy faces bearing away their prizes - you made the event!

And to those who helped put everything back where it came from and carried out what was left of the market - we are so grateful for your help!

And some other winners - chocolate covered raisins - Terry Hamilton. Jelly beans - Abby (from Capernwray). Poinsettia - Edie Galbraith. And the door prize - Theresa Elsie.

Thank you again everyone - you all made it such a success.
