Post Office Update and Info

Sorry for such a long lapse but we have been waiting to see how 'the water settles' so we can give you concrete information.

As everyone is aware Zola has retired and Kevin O'Brien took her place.  Then Kevin betrayed me (Fred) by showing he had a ton of other skills that the Marina sorely needs.  Ergo he has now been promoted to a manager at the marina.  All kidding aside, good on you Kevin it is much needed.  

Liz Avery has now replaced Kevin (although Kevin still fills gaps as needed).  Liz has caught on quickly and is doing a great job given how short a time she has been in the position.  The one thing that became clear to Fred and Kevin in his training and then in Liz's is how much straight memorization is involved.  Fred has been here coming on 10 months and still doesn't have it all.  Liz is doing fantastic, but it is going to take her awhile to get all of the little bits in place.  

We get letters with no box numbers just lot numbers.  We get letters with just names and the postal code.  We get letters with just a first name and Thetis Island.  We have a mix of box numbers both old and new.  Sorting all of that out takes a while.

Thanks to Michele Black and the yeoman's duty she did in creating our updated spreadsheet we are now able to make an application to Canada Post to get proper post office boxes.  On that note we are in the queue to get boxes when another post office changes out their old boxes (the ones we want). Fred will keep you posted sometime this week with an update. 

Please welcome Liz and give her a hand as needed.  She is part of the crew keeping the post office on Thetis Island.

Please return at your earliest convenience if this was you!

Fascia Board Replacement

Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations or if there is anyone available on the Island who does gutter repair? 

Specifically, I need to replace the fascia board on the rear gutter at #7 Cunningham Rd.

Thanks
