Forbes Hall – Please Remember to Close Doors!

Over the past week we’ve had a few incidents of doors being left open, not just unlocked but wide open!

Beautiful weather has us enjoying doors and windows open, but when leaving the hall please make sure it is secure.

If you or someone in your activity opens a door for access or fresh air, check all are closed before leaving. You can even do a quick door tour when you’re the last person leaving the hall, just to check.

Thanks for keeping the hall busy and alive with activities and all the other things that happen there!

Temporary Road Obstruction (Saturday)

There will be a cement pour taking place on Saturday morning, just below the roadside parking on Sunrise Point, which is often used by those commuting to other islands or utilizing beach access.

We anticipate there will be a cement truck, completely blocking the road from traffic, (this may include periodic restriction of pedestrians), below the parking area, from 9AM until 11:00AM.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Looking to Borrow Grommet Hole Punch

Hello!

I’m looking to borrow or use a grommet hole punch. I’m putting together a stack of laminated cards and would like to add grommets so they can be attached to a key ring and better protected from wear and the elements.

If anyone has one I can borrow, please get in touch with me at charlotte@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org

Thanks so much!
Charlotte

Looking for Hinges

I'm looking for 2 pairs of 3.5" hinges that I could buy or trade for. I have boxes of the black ones, but they're too good to use for what I need them for.

Saturday: Cool Girls Nature Club

Good morning, brave ladies,

It is me again 😄

The water is really warming up. Soon we may have to change our name to the Hot Girls Club.

This week, we’ll meet Saturday at 9:00 a.m. at the Government Dock.

Fun fact: Research shows that women who gather, socialize, and play together tend to live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Apparently ocean dipping counts as self-care.

This is a relaxed, low-pressure women’s gathering. Come sip your tea, breathe the ocean air, dip, swim, paddle, float, or simply be.

Wetsuit, bathing suit, or birthday suit, all welcome.

Come exactly as you are.

And for those of you wanting to skip the swimming part, around 9:45 a.m. we usually meet afterward at Telegraph Harbour Marina Café for a little warm-up. If you’d like to join and get a feel for what we’re all about, you’re very welcome to come.

A little ocean time, a little connection, a little courage, that’s all this is. Hope to see you there, even if it’s just toes in the water.
