Dental Hygiene

Hello Thetis Islanders,

Some time ago we learned there was an option for us who live on Thetis to get the Hygienist dental care here and not to go elsewhere. I would think this is exactly what many of us on Thetis aim at: to get as much food and as many services locally, without having to leave island, since every leave means some energy burning (if we go only to Chemainus) or a lot of energy burning, if our hygienist is in Ladysmith or Duncan or Nanaimo.

I was rather surprised to learn that Ellen and I were the only ones who reached out to accept this offer and I am challenging my Thetis Islanders Eco Friendly Friends to think of the offer and what it brings to us regarding our contribution to less energy burning.

I understand we all have our loyalties. I, for one, am quite happy with my hygienist of 5 years. Yet, I have to go to Ladysmith to get my care. I thought about my loyalty and decided to be loyal to Mother Earth.

Here is the contact:

   My full name is Meghan Mitchell and my business name is Nanaimo Hygiene.
   Phone: 587-777-3613
   Email: nanaimohygiene@hotmail.com
   Social: @nanaimodentalhygiene

   Here are the reviews:

I do have reputable reviews and I have been working as a hygienist for 14 years. I am an instructor at VIU in the dental hygiene program and I always stay up to date on my continuing education. I think you will be very happy with my services.

Kind regards, Jan

From the Library

A Friend of the Library will bring tea and treats for your enjoyment on Sunday 1-4.

Ugly Christmas Sweater Soup’s On: Wednesday, Dec. 13th

Join us for a fun Soup’s On, December 13th (last one of 2023).

Wear that weird, ugly, strange Christmas sweater that you pull out once a year. Don’t have one? Use glue to stick fun Christmas items all over a sweater you no longer wear.

If you don’t have one, simply do not want to wear one, or whatever, come enjoy a bowl of soup while laughing with your neighbours at the weird things people will wear!

Ugly Sweater Soup’s On – December 13th.

Note: a regular, fantastic as usual, Soup’s On is happening on December 6th.

Thetis Island Food Pantry

Thanks again to the generous hearts of Thetis Islanders,over 50 kg of food and $285 was donated at the Craft Sale on Saturday to Harvest House. Several people who were unable to attend the sale also made donations directly to Harvest House. Many people on Thetis benefit from your generosity.

I would also like to thank Tim French and Gurk Sarioglu who volunteer their time whenever we are not available.

The Firehall is excepting donations this month.

Thanks again

Missing Poncho

I seem to be missing my multicoloured hand-crocheted poncho, and may have left it in Forbes Hall, but I can't find it there now. It would probably have been in a black shopping bag.

If it has turned up somewhere and someone is wondering where the heck that came from, please get back to me!

I'm rather fond of it and hoping it will turn up again.

Goosey Gander Shop Hours this Weekend

The Shop will open later on Saturday from Noon until 3pm as I’m looking forward to visiting the Christmas Market in the morning. See you there : ) Sunday hours will be as usual from 10am to 3pm.

Please do stop by the Shop to have a Look, especially if you haven’t been yet, as the counters are overflowing with all sorts of items, lots and lots of Christmas decorations including a Snoopy Cuckoo Clock. There’s a rug braiding kit, and a wooden photo album box that holds 84 pictures, and if you missed them last weekend there is an eye-popping collection of model motorcycles for sale, and a Santa on a Motorcycle Ornament too. More items have been added to the yellow tag half off sale and the Goosey $10 Gift Coins are available to give to Family and Friends.

Have a very fun weekend and Thank You,
Nan Beals
