QCI Recreation Newsletter

Issue 4 -January 2010

We, at QCI Rec., have had our heads buried in programming and proposal writing that we haven’t had time to write a new letter for quite a while!

With winter setting in we know that your kids still want to be outside and Operation Oceans is now offering “Youth Only” surf classes. If you or your child is between the ages of 13 and 19 you can give us a call or register online for an advertised class. And for only $5.00 (with surf board and suit included) you can get your stoke on and head out into the waves for your lesson. Our January class is full but we still have February until April to find new dates to suit you.

For those of you with more artistic flair Sheila Karrow is offering a one day “Painting Backgrounds” course in Masset on Saturday, February 6th at the Howard Phillips Community Hall 10:00 -4:00 pm for only $65.00. Contact Sheila directly to register for this class at 250-559-7702 or email at skarrow@qcislands.net.

Ralph Schultz is working away at prepping glass and designs for the next day long Stained Glass Class in Sandspit on Sunday, February 21st from 11:00 – 5:30 pm $150.00 includes all the glass and equipment. You will be able to create and foil your own design if you choose but you will definitely have a piece or two to take home at the end of the day.

Ron Haralson is setting up for his winter P.A.L. – Canadian Firearms Acquisition Course at the Medical Clinic in Port Clements. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, February 4 – 12 from 7:00 – 10:00 pm for $125.00. Call Ron at 250-557-4255 for registration so you can get out and get active in the woods.
