Author Night with Laurie Jones

Thanks to the Tahsis Literacy Society for sponsoring an Author Night with Laurie Jones, who lived in Tahsis while researching her book, Nootka Sound Explored, which was published in 1991.

The crowd met for a lovely potluck dinner at CMESS kitchen, then headed over to the Senior's Society Over Fifty Club Room for the presentation, dessert and coffee.  About 40 friends and neighbours and visitors met to hear Laurie's account of her time here.  

Laurie also talked about the process of researching the book and it was an enjoyable evening for both newcomers to the community and the people who remember when Tahsis was running as a booming mill town.

Watching video clips of our town's history was fun, as we recognized some familiar faces.

The next morning, several people met with Laurie and members of the Tahsis Historical Society to attend a special opening of the museum.
