CANADA DAY

Yup, it's coming up! And Chemainus Garden Residents have the opportunity of getting together on July 1st for a pot luck at the Pavilion. It starts at 3:00 p.m. or anytime thereafter.
You can bring a casserole, salad, dessert or appy to put on the table and share with neighbors.  It is BYOB for us all and bring the meat of your choice, as we have the grill there!

All the fun begins after the events planned at the Waterwheel Park in Chemainus, which start at 11:00 and end at 3:00. So we can pick and choose how we want to celebrate.  I encourage anyone who has never been to the Canada Day Celebration in Chemainus to take a stroll down and join in.  The cake is great and the company even better.  Get to know your wider neighborhood.  Be sure to check the Community Events Board at the Post Office site for times. It is listed there.

I must say that everyone that uses the dog park is helping to keep the "can" emptied and fresh.  For this I am truly thankful.
I talked to Linda Cleft and she is really put out ( rightly so) that there have been dog droppings left out near the picnic table.  She ran over some and will not be mowing if we don't try a little harder to make sure we pick up after pets.  I went down yesterday and put a roll of bags  by the gate for owners to use if they don't have one handy.  PLEASE.  This could be an issue that no one wants to deal with!!   It takes a human to open the gate in or out.  Check before you leave to make sure your dog is cleaned up after.  I and many others walk the dogs and pick up FIRST, before using the park. Since the signage that is there indicates that bags are available ( and they weren't), I made sure they ARE.  
 I asked Linda Kelly to please enforce the dog leash and pickup rules to campers.  She said they would, so I hope it happens!

'Nuff said.

The weather is continuing perfect, though a bit more rain wouldn't hurt.  The ponds are way down and, though it is time to cut them down we are all feeling our age and a variety of people are gone.  We are hoping that management will take care of it, though I haven't asked.  Maybe a petition??

 We welcome Louise ( Mary and Bill Squires' daughter) this week!  What a long trip.  We hope to see her at the July 1 celebration, but she may want to rest.  Anyway the "new lady" is Louise.

I still want to do an animal/owner interviews.  Could anyone that is willing to be interviewed and have photos taken of you and your pet please contact me?  my phone:  250 324 4230  or lvgmal@hotmail.com is my email.  I'd like to do one mid July, if possible.

Also, I have 4 Promoter's 2 for 1 coupons for the Chemainus Theatre productions.  This means you purchase one ticket and get a second for free.  When booking you MUST mention this is a PROMOTER'S 2 for 1 ticket, as they differ from the tickets that are sold in booklets to other societies.  These are directly from people who participate in the theatre by volunteering.  If you'd like one, contact me at the above numbers.

HAPPY CANADA  DAY
