ThINC Printer Woes

ThINC's donated inkjet printer has stopped working. Is there anyone on the island with the skills to assess whether it can be repaired (our first choice) or with a retired but functioning printer they are willing to donate? If so, please contact us at info@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org . 

Many thanks in advance from the ThINC Team.

Quarterly Pick-up

Sorry, but this is very uncertain. Apple Press in Duncan doesn't know if he'll have them done by Friday, or Saturday. If anyone is going to be in Duncan on Friday, I or they could call (250-746-1019) and see if they're ready by Friday afternoon - they're open until 5. He’s also there between 11am and 12:30pm on Saturday. Otherwise, it's Monday. 

So, I realize it's a very off-chance indeed that anyone can do this, but if you find yourself there, and they're done and you can get them, that would be AWESOME! Let me know if there's a chance, and I'll try to keep ahead of what's happening there. The address is 430 Trans Canada Hwy, Duncan, just north of Coronation Ave.

Thank you - whoever you are!

Jams and Jellies

Hello Thetis Islanders, this year I will not be selling my jams and jellies at the Summer Market. But lucky for you that Jen and Jaime at Telegraph Harbour Marina have graciously taken on my jams and jellies to sell at the cafe/store.

Thank-you

Recommendations Wanted - Countertops

Does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced quartz or laminate countertops? 

I've only located one company so far who only make countertops & install them here.
