It is time to get caught up on the news in the Edam area. I have been busy and there hasn’t been an awful lot happening in the area that I have been informed about. It makes it hard to report when I don’t know what is going on to report about. But here we go.
The handi-van committee have held their usual bingo nights once a month of which I have missed three. However I was able to attend the February and March nights.
The winners took home chickens for each regular game at the Feb. 13 bingo. They were Huguette Johnson, Jessie Armstrong, Paul Young-Brewster, Margo Young-Brewster, Leah Bec, Helen Hamel, Blaire Chapman, Rose Ann Corbeil, Janet Cadrain and Zoey Pollard. Winning the sweetheart wine basket, donated by Mary Anne Corbeil, was Herman Hoogland. Kids’ prizes for the evening were donated by Paul and Margo Young-Brewster and were won by Leah Bec and Jaycee Letwinetz. Congrats to all of these winners.
The March 13 winners of $10 per regular game were Sandra Clarke, Paul Young-Brewster and Marion Ottas split, Irene Carlson, Eddie Mannix and Huguette Johnson split, Brianna Wouters, Ryan Bec, Kay Mannix twice, Frank Poole and Maisie Poole split and Barb Blaquiere. Winning the blackout 50/50 game for $80 was Sandra Clarke. Kids’ prizes, donated by Frank and Maisie Poole, were won by Nevin Poole and Zoey Pollard.
Congratulations to all of these winners. Be ready for the next bingo evening which will be April 10 at 7:30 p.m.
