It's that time again - a Chums work party this Saturday, July 24, 2010 at 7568 Birch Bay Drive from 10 a.m. to noon. Come along with your work gloves and weeding tools. We'll supply drinking water and a voucher to The Bay Cafe or the C Shop as a reward for your effort.
The past few work parties have consisted of the Murphys, the Nair Family and Ruth & Al. There is plenty of work to go around and we have found that many hands do make light work.
Come on along to nurture the 800 plus Sitka Spruce and Western Red Cedar saplings. Enjoy the satisfaction of growing trees to enhance the environment for salmon. These trees will be given away next spring to property owners in the Terrell Creek watershed.
Becoming a Chum of Terrell Creek is simple: show up at a work party and you're in! Comment here to ask for more information.

The Lyons family, the Friedlobs and the Chui family, along with members of the extended Nair family supported Samantha along the 1.1 mile parade route of Birch Bay Drive from the C Shop on Alderson Rd. to The Bay Center Market at Harborview Rd.

A crowd estimated at well over 2000 enthusiastic on-lookers cheered all 30-plus entries in the parade.
