Quarterly on Thetis Pick Up Available this Time to Help Save Postage

If you normally have your Quarterly mailed to you but happen to be here this weekend or next week it would save on postage if you picked up your copy.  The Quarterly is a bigger issue this time and will cost TICA extra to mail off island.

A penny saved is a penny earned : )

They are available from Nan Beals (circulation) at 73 Pilkey Point Road.  Just let her know if you will be coming by for it and she won't mail it.  Thank you very much.  250-246-4944 or potofgold@telus.net

Warmer Weather Predicted: Know Your Mushrooms

Environment Canada has just sent out information that we are heading into a ridge of high-pressure starting May 31-June 1 that will bring temperatures 2 to 5 degrees above normal.  This is not a high heat event but due to the recent cool, unsettled, and wet weather, this coming heat may produce a lot of mushrooms popping up, several species of which are toxic to humans, cats, and dogs.  Please know your mushrooms and don’t let your pets eat mushrooms when out on walks.  

The Amanita Mushrooms are especially toxic, and a couple of the Amanita species have been found on Thetis.

Saturday Market Extended Hours

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday offering extended hours this week from 10 am to 3 pm.   An extra hour to enjoy some homemade baking and coffee and catch up with your neighbours.  

Stock up on plants, knitted goods, home baking, jams and jellies, soaps or purchase handmade gifts  including wood turned items, baskets, kids clothing, etc.  Be sure and check out the piggy planters crafted by Rick Koeppen. 

Oversized Vehicles on Ferry Friday and Saturday

We will have two 30+ foot vehicles, hoping for a spot on the 4:05p or 7:15p ferries to Thetis on Friday 27 May.  Both vehicles will likely be heading back on Saturday, but I don't yet know what time.
On return we can try to split them up so as not to hog too much of any one sailing.
