In the past, sponsorship funds were added to our Library Fund, which was used to purchase engineering or geotechnical reference books to be donated to the Vancouver Island Regional Library. We are now intending that surplus funds are now to go to the scholarship program. The Library Fund has not used much over the past few years, however, we will continue to operate the fund on an as needed basis. Please contact the Vancouver Island Branch Chair, Darryl Tunnicliffe, if you would to suggest reference materials to be added to the library.
Hope to see you there!!

The Vancouver Island Branch needs fresh blood and new ideas, especially from EITs and GITs. If you are interested in becoming involved, even in a limited manner, in Branch affairs, please contact any member of the Branch Executive.
Don't forget to return to this Vancouver Island Branch Web page for updates of the above info and other information you might be interested in.
Library Resource Materials
The Tetra Society in Nanaimo would like to make the public aware that it exists and is able to help disabled people. Tetra is a none profit organization with a purpose to recruit skilled volunteers to create assistive devices for people with disabilities. Tetra recognizes that people are not handicapped by their disabilities but by obstacles or barriers in their living environment. Volunteer engineers, design technicians and health professionals work one to one with people with disabilities to make assistive aids or modifications to their environment so that greater independence can be achieved.
The Volunteers donate their time and the only cost to the client is the material. In the event a client can not afford the materials, there is also funding available. The Nanaimo Chapter of Tetra also welcomes outside funding support to assist those clients who are in need of funding.
Please pass this information on to anyone on Vancouver Island you might think can use the services of Tetra. Your voice will help Tetra in spreading the word on its services and in turn may improve an individuals independence. The Nanaimo Chapter of Tetra is also looking to identify Volunteers for current and future projects. To contact the Nanaimo Chapter of Tetra, please contact: Jim Pickell or at 250-756-2422, Check Tetra out on the web at www.reachdisability.org/tetra
If you are a new member who has recently or is about to receive your certificate, please contact our Branch Chair for a frame, and to arrange a certificate presentation at an upcoming dinner meeting.
