SOAS Goods & Services Auction

SOAS is looking for contributions for their Goods and Service Auction to be held during Follies at the Farm on May 18.

Even small services like wood stacking or window washing are a great benefit to community members who find these tasks difficult. Or some baking or a meal. No service is too big or small.

It's a great way to meet new neighbours too. And remember, you can deliver your service at your own convenience.

Just drop me an email and get on the list.   sunrisegrail@gmail.com

Thanking you in advance,

Maureen

TIVFD: Fire Hazard Rating Rising

The fire hazard rating is rising due to warming temperatures and wind, with poor recovery (humidity/dew) on most nights.  We are now at MODERATE hazard.  Please be cautious of your yard waste fires and campfires. 

Permits for yard waste are still available for burning on GOOD or YES Venting Index days.  No demolition waste may be burned.  

Campfires permits are available for the month of May at this time, if regulation size and with water and an adult at the campfire until it is extinguished.

Moderate: Forest fuels are drying and there is an increased risk of surface fires starting. Carry out any forest activities with caution.

Motorcycle For Sale

2001 Honda Magna VF750C -  $2750  - 64,000 km

Very clean with little signs of wear on the bike.  Runs like a charm, needs no work and is ready to go. Powerful and fast bike and yet smooth power delivery and great handling.

Sad to sell it but living on Thetis Island, I just can't use it enough to justify keeping it and I would rather let someone else enjoy it.

Carpet Cleaning

We were much dismayed to learn today that several outfits in Duncan that do carpet cleaning are no longer coming to Thetis Island. If you know of anyone who does this kind of work or have some recommendations I would appreciate a call.
