There was a good turnout of folks at the Edam Manor Tuesday for their weekly pie and coffee. That evening there was a good turnout for their weekly singalong under the musical direction of Joyce Wall, including a variety of songs. The manor offered coffee and cookies at the closing of the evening, which was most enjoyable.

Edam West 4-H Club

(By Ella Grant)

I am a member of the Edam West 4-H Club. This year we have 23 members. Members are in beef projects (market steer, heifer) or sheep (market lamb, ewe). Some members are in both. We try to meet once a month for a meeting and also have an activity.

We were able to play bingo with the residents of the Edam Enriched Manor this month. The members enjoyed themselves. The next day the members were able to gather and bring their animals to work on for the afternoon and clip, brush and lead them around.

Achievement day is May 25 at the Edam Community Centre. Please join us that day to see our members show off all their hard work and at the end of the day, we will have supper that we would love to share with the community.
