New to Thetis? Missing the Library?

In addition to our wonderful local community library that will be once again available to us when Forbes Hall construction is completed, the Vancouver Island Regional Library offers a great, free, Books By Mail service to remote readers.  

Thetis Island counts as a remote community.  The green book bag service means you can order any number of books in any genre, adult or child, regular or large print format, and they arrive at your post box. You read them at your leisure, then you pop them back in the bag and drop the bag into the mail box.  No late fees, no postage fees, no hassle.  

I found this service especially great in the past for children’s books because the Books by Mail librarians get to know your child’s reading interests and will choose for you if you like.  (Grand kids coming?  Have a stack of books ready to read while they are here, then mail them back when they leave.). 

Vancouver Island Regional Library is funded through regional taxation, so since you are paying for it, take advantage of it.

Results of TICA Extraordinary General Meeting ~ December 8th

Thank you for your participation and patience at Sunday’s meeting.  We apologize for the length of the meeting, and that many people had to leave prior to voting because of time. 

Unfortunately, there were irregularities in the voting.  There were 122 eligible voting members who registered at the start of the meeting. On the first ballot there were 121 votes; however on the second ballot, 124 votes were cast.  This means there were more votes cast than registered voters in the room, making the vote invalid.  The vote counting followed Federal Electoral practices led by Jeannine Caldbeck, and all votes were counted three times, by a group of four members.  It was not until after the meeting that the discrepancy was discovered. 

The result of this is that the situation still stands as it did prior to the meeting, in that, the TICA Board will be asking for the members’ blessing to raise or secure the payment or repayment of money in the manner they decide.  

A meeting will be arranged in the New Year, at which point further information will be available. We note that this will be an inconvenience for all of you, but are looking for your participation and support at this future meeting.
