Thetis Community Beware

I noticed in Friday’s e-Spokes that the propane tanks from the Community Hall were stolen.

I was away a good portion of September & on return I saw my 10 lb full propane tank was missing from the small work deck in front of my shop. This is right in our yard. The tank is known as the “ curling rock” tank & are no longer manufactured & they are quite a bit more expensive than a regular 20 lb tank. It is off my boat with a fitted spot for it.

I didn’t post it as I was hoping whoever stole it would at least return the empty tank.

It is disconcerting that someone patrolled through our yard “ casing the joint” even though the property was occupied the whole time I was away.

Sad,
Jamie

Forbes Hall: Missing Items

Several items are missing from Forbes Hall.

These kitchen items have gone missing since mid-June. Please check within your home kitchen equipment to see if any of these items may have made it to your home following the Canada Day Breakfast, Family Fun Day, any of this fall’s Soup’s Ons, or at any other time within the last six months.

Kitchen Aid Processor attachments, including the main blade/stem – kept in a zip loc bag. Bag with attachments is missing. Return to kitchen when found.

Cambro square food storage bin– we have the lid, so just the bin is missing. Translucent, plastic, 6 Quart /5.5 litres. Return to kitchen when found.

Large, white, rectangular serving platter with raised edge. Return to kitchen when found.

As well, the Propane Tanks from the BBQ have been taken. This is far more recent, and very disappointing. If you know of someone who has these, please ask that they get returned to the hall once they are empty, better that we get them back empty rather than not at all. Leave outside by the BBQ.

Please remember that if kitchen equipment or service-ware breaks while you’re working in food services or using the equipment for other events, please contact info@forbeshall.ca. A note on the white board on the fridge in the main kitchen works, too!

Thanks!

Need Ride to/from Nanaimo

I have a 6hp outboard engine that I need to take to Nanaimo, back to Dreamers Marine, as it’s under warranty and it's not moving my boat and wondering if anyone is going to Nanaimo this week or next week.

They are open Monday to Friday 8:00-4:30 only. If you’re able to help, even if it’s just dropping off the motor, that would be amazing

Please contact me at 250-436-1006 -- best is texting but will answer calls too.
Thank you in advance

Need Boat Tow

My sailboat is anchored by Kinsmen beach in Chemainus, and I would like to get it back to Thetis Island, if possible. I’m currently staying with my friend off Pilkey Point Rd and was hoping someone could possibly help me get it back to Thetis. Would prefer to have it at North Cove but will be willing to have it anchored by the pub or government dock.

If you can help, that would be amazing as I’m on disability and don't get much to live off.

Please contact me at jasmine.e.anderson2024@gmail.com
or text/call 250-436-1006

Thank you in advance
