Missing Parcel Keys

Once again I am missing Post office parcel keys. They have been missing for quite awhile. They have a blue tag on them with the number 6 on them. I have also found other parcel keys back in the mailbox of the customer who retrieved the parcel.

They belong in the slot above the parcel box once you've picked up your package.

Thank You,

Kevin (Postmaster)

Sound Room

Is there anyone on the island that has a sound/ recording room or knows of anyone that I would be able to record a solo violin? 

I need a recording done for Aug 10th 

Happy to pay fee for usage/ per hour.

Thank you!

From the Library...

Hello islanders.

Thank you for your generous donations of books and dvds for the annual sale this Saturday 10-1. 

I have now maxed out my storage space. No more donations please. 

I am looking forward to seeing you at the sale.  It sounds like there will be some great baking to purchase.

100 lb Propane Tanks

For those Islanders who may not be aware, Viper Fuels, in Chemainus, will fill 100 lb propane tanks on Thetis Island, unlike Superior.  They just need enough business to make the trip worthwhile. 

With a DG trip coming up this Thursday, give them a call (250-246-1838) and schedule your 100 lb refill (or larger) at a very reasonable price.  Plus, they are a local company that should be supported by us locals.

Invitation to Contribute to Penelakut Healing Session Travel Bursary

Dear Thetis Islanders, 

A number of you have reached out with great care and concern asking if there is some way to contribute indirectly to the two healing sessions for residential school survivorsto be hosted by Penelakut Tribe on July 28 and Aug 4. I have inquired with one of the Penelakut organizers about what would be most helpful at this point. The Band office is accepting general donations of support. As well, there are specific requests for travel support starting to come in from residential school survivors who will have to travel to attend one or both sessions. At the suggestion of our Penelakut contact, to expedite the creation of a travel bursary fund, Michelle Black and I are coordinating e-transfers of financial donations from our Thetis community directly to the bursary recipients, under the direction of our Penelakut contact.  

The first request we will try to meet is for $200 for an individual who attended Kuper Island Residential school and is from Snaw-naw-as/Nanoose Bay. He is traveling from East Vancouver with a relative for the July 28 session. If we meet this request, we will offer to support additional requests one by one so as not to raise false hopes for travelers. If you are interested to support this little travel bursary arrangement please contact Michelle or me (Kelly) by July 31 as follows (text or call): Michelle 250-715-8942 or Kelly 250-252-0111. Donations of $20 or more will be appreciated to limit the transactions. 

Thank you so much for considering this invitation.  

Kelly Bannister and Michelle Black
