Here are your kicks and kisses for the week of MONTH DAY!
- Shout out to all the Coast Reporter carriers and drivers who changed Easter weekend plans to deliver the paper after we experienced multiple delivery truck failures. You are the best.
- Kisses to the legendary Ann Watson at the Sechelt Archives for being such an amazing community archivist. Happy 91st birthday, Ann!
- Kicks to the folks who take their garbage or recyclables and leave it or fill the garbage bin and recycling bins at other people’s property.
- Kisses to Tidal Gutters, expert and efficient. Kindly too, willing to explain and adjust. Best of all, a real, live, knowledgeable secretary/office assistant answers the phone.
- Kisses to Wendy from Halfmoon Bay, the angel in a white coat, who delivered car keys to my family in Horseshoe Bay. You saved the day! It was magic.
- Kicks to people who use Kevins Road as a short cut to town – it is a private road and you endanger residents and their children.
- A big thank you to the Rotary Club and other volunteers that organized the Easter Egg hunt and various activities at Whitaker Park. As a grandparent it was great to see the little ones having so much fun. The Easter Bunny was a huge hit with all. It really makes it fun to be part of this welcoming community!
- Grateful kisses to the lovely person who paid for our carload of Starbucks anonymously – it was very much appreciated.
- Kisses to the lovely people who brought puppies to the farmers market in Sechelt for people to pet. You brought much joy.
- Kisses to Robbie, Lisa, the delivery truck driver, and all those who spent the extra time and effort over the Easter weekend to make sure the news made it to the readers up and down the Coast. Despite breakdowns and delays everyone met the challenges head on. A little late, but worth the wait. Thanks to the community for their collective patience.
- Kisses to the two young ladies cleaning up the refuge at Gospel Rock on Easter Sunday. You embrace and enhance the spirit of the Coast.
- Kicks to the person who tore through the stop sign at Fairway/Beacon 3:35 p.m. Easter Sunday. Had the ducks been on the road like usual, you would have mown them down.
