Ladies Night 2017 ~ December 9th

Thank You from TICA

BIG THANKS to the more than 50 Thetis Island Community Association members who turned out Saturday to share ideas and discuss expansion of Forbes Hall. SPECIAL THANKS to the table facilitators and recorders, Ann Dickie and Gloria Taylor for sustenance, Nan Beals for Pot of Gold coffee and everyone that helped make this happen! It is clear that the community has a lot of energy to move to next steps.

Ron Bannister

VP, TICA

Thank You

Thank you to the caring folks at the Thetis Island Marina who called me about my dear Jack, black & white cat, who followed some folks from the ferry / Capernwray area to that neck of the woods. To go the extra mile to check the Thetis Island pet registry to see if he was on it, was so appreciated. Jack (the cat) was promptly retrieved and when back home ate a big meal, had a long drink of water and went to his bed and fell right to sleep. During this Thanksgiving weekend, I am thankful for your care and consideration. 

Thank you again, and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Liz Joslin & Jack
