Chemainus Lab

Heads up! If you are heading over to the Chemainus Health Care Centre for lab tests or pick-up or drop off items they ask that you make an appointment. 
To make an appointment go to Chemainus Health Care Centre press website which takes you to their services. Press Laboratory Services and you will see Online Appointment Booking. 

I was there today and had made an appointment days earlier so even though there were people waiting, I walked right into the lab. The lab technicians have requested that making an appointment makes things run smoother for them and you.

Pick-up of the Quarterly needed

We have been told that Island Blue will do their best to try to get the Quarterly printed by Friday.  I won't know until Thursday afternoon if that's been achieved.  But if it has, is there someone who is or will be down there, coming back to Thetis on the weekend, who could pick it up for us on the Friday?  (They're closed on Saturday and Sunday.)  

Please let us know at quarterly@thetisisland.net or 250-246-1509.  Thanks!

The Summer Soiree and Art Auction is Back
 
On Saturday August 6th, TICA will host The Summer Soiree & Art Auction at Forbes Hall Community Centre.  This popular community event has not been held since the summer of 2016 and we’ve missed it!
 
The Soiree is a community celebration, an opportunity to come together and dine under the summer sky. There will be an auction of art donated by islanders, live music, and a goods and services auction.
 
The Soiree is an important fundraising event for TICA and all proceeds benefit the Forbes Hall Community Centre
 
What to do now? 
Now is the time to look at the art you have leaning against walls and stuffed into closets.
Put a few pieces aside and then this summer; donate them to the Art Auction.
 
Additional details will follow in the coming months.
