danceXchange in February

Thanks to everyone who supported the "Soul Movement" dance session last week, it was a wonderful event led by Tatiana Ishwari!

There will be another event planned for February, with date, time and details to be announced once they are confirmed.

Our intention is to continue with monthly events led or co-led by different people. Each session will have its own focus but all will be inclusive, healthful and fun!

If you are interested to lead or co-facilitate a session, or if you have a thematic request/idea for a session, please contact Kelly kelly_bannister@telus.net .

Also, feel free to indicate your interest in being involved in the visioning and planning of our cooperative danceXchange initiative.

iPhone Wanted

My iPhone 7 was stolen while I was in Hawaii.  I do not want to buy a new one at this point. 

So, I was wondering if there is someone on Thetis who has an older iPhone hanging around that they are not using and would like to sell to me at a reasonable price?

I am not back on Thetis until Sunday.  So you can contact me by email at gkredman@gmail.com

Improvement District ~ News

In 2016, trustee Graeme Shelford benchmarked how other islands fund their first responder services and found that Thetis received the least support from the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA). Therefore we applied to VIHA for the same $10,000 a year subsidy that Saturna gets. As announced at the last TIRRA meeting, VIHA readily agreed that we deserve equal treatment.  We have now received the first $10,000 cheque, which is a valuable contribution towards the funding of our Fire Department's first responder service.

Loblaw's & Save-On Gift Cards

Virginia Lamb has already posted the link for the application for Loblaw's $25 grocery card.  If you qualify to receive the card, consider donating it to the local food bank - they can make your $25 donation stretch even further during times when their donations are down.

“Friends of Furries” is becoming more active within our two Island communities as more animals are needing assistance.  We would appreciate the donation of Loblaw’s gift cards to purchase dog and cat food for animals in need on Thetis and Penelakut Islands.
