Bring Your Own Tea Party

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching.  You are invited to share “elevenses” with our unmasked friends and neighbours on the island by joining a zoom meeting on Sunday, Feb.14th, at 11 a.m.  Your computer will need a camera.  You will supply your own tea/coffee and a biscuit.  We will collectively wave and take turns saying hello and sharing a tidbit of news...just like a real Soups On.  Let’s just have a quick virtual visit to cheer ourselves up a bit.  This will be a good way to meet people you may not have seen for months.

If you are interested in taking part, send an email to firechief@thetisislandfire.ca with the subject line:  Valentine and I will send you the zoom meeting link and password.  Everyone is welcome to join us - this will be a light-hearted virtual gathering with no politics or pandemic.
