Quarterly Deadline Reminder

We will really appreciate it if you can get any articles, stories, ads, notices etc. in to us by May 1st. Or if you can't, at least let us know by then that something is coming.

We will need to have the whole thing put together and off to the printer by the 20th of May, so we would absolutely have to have everything in hand by the 12th. Thanks!

Looking for a Ride from Victoria on Tuesday, May 2

Our new wwoofer, Vic, arrives by plane to Victoria next Tuesday, and is hoping she might hitch a ride back to Thetis if anyone is in town that day? 

She will be downtown by 9:30 am and can somewhat make her way around by bus, if there was a convenient meet up spot. 

Thanks in advance if this happens to work out for you!

Has Old Man Winter Piled Your Yard Up with….

**Branches, Branches, Branches??

Now you're Wondering what to do with that pile of branches?

Woody has a solution!

He is just hungry for branches!

So, round up a team of branch handlers to feed Woody, and we've got an aerobics workout with a fun time and purpose, the more the merrier!

Woody, an industrial 49hp trailer mounted Woodchipper capable of chipping up to 12" diameter wood stock, is on Thetis and ready to serve the Island.

Woody, with 2 motivated branch handlers feeding him, can handily convert a VW Bug sized branch pile into wood chips. The more branch feeders recruited to feed Woody the faster Woody will convert those "Branches" into wood chips. No need to worry about feeding Woody too much, he will just hiccup and chew on!

Accessible tidy piles will feed Woody faster.

See if you can make Woody hiccup!

For a Chipping Good Time without the Frustration of When to Let the Smoke Out,
