Here are your kicks and kisses for the week of April 19!
- Kisses to the volunteers who do income tax returns for low-income people. I really appreciate having mine done. Thank you.
- Pages and pages of kisses to all the students, staff and families at Halfmoon Bay Community School for making our first Read-a-Thon fundraiser such a success! Additional kisses to the Sunshine Coast Literacy Coalition, Talewind Books and Thorpe Family for their generous support.
- Kisses to all of the phenomenal community members who’ve volunteered their time, energy, and expertise to the Sunshine Coast Foundation over the last 20 years! Extra special kisses to our exceptional volunteer-led board of directors who bring their passion, wisdom, and guidance to our small but mighty team.
- A big thank you to Dr. Dre and other staff at the Sunshine Coast Dental Group for making possible a last-minute crown replacement. Much appreciated!
- Kicks to the person who can’t read the sign on Kevins Road – it IS a private road, part of a strata. You may notice it is not plowed by Sechelt, we have to pay for the plowing and up keep of this road. Please use Tyler or Oracle.
- Kisses and thanks to Luanna, the kind and always pleasant washroom attendant at Claytons Mall. I have seen messes you’ve cleaned for the benefit of us all. I hope you are being well compensated for your dedicated work.
- Coffee kisses to Louise at Salish Soils! Your customer service was above and beyond! Thank you for the piles of dirt and double double!
- Kisses and many thanks to Charlotte, Jason and everyone that works in the pop-up library in the Sechelt mall. Your friendly help and enthusiasm is very much appreciated.
- Kisses to all those folks on Trail Avenue who move their garbage bin out of the bike lane as soon as possible to not block cyclists.
- Kisses and deep gratitude to David, David and Carol who helped me when I fractured my hip in lower Gibsons. They stayed until the ambulance came and were so kind.
- Kisses to the SC Film Society for all the presentations this year. Mr. Dressup is an excellent movie, Ernie Coombs was a beautiful spirit. Also kisses to Raven’s Cry owners and staff, thanks.
