We have a bit of catching up to do this week. Things have been slow around Edam in the news department. The last trip of the month draw for 2013 was won by Brian and Carol Weber of Vawn, with Terry Chambers of Turtleford winning the $100. The first draw for 2014 was won by Richard and Teresa Hentges of Livelong with Dan and Bev Esquirol winning the $100 and Ed and June McCaffrey of Vawn winning the 50/50 draw totalling $1,275. Congratulations to all the winners.

The students of HHS are starting their magazine campaign, Feb. 3 through to Feb. 25. You can order and renew your magazines through the school magazine catalogue sale or you can go online to place your order. If your magazines are due for renewal, please help the students out and order through their campaign. The website to go to is www.gsp.ca and the school code is 16165. You then follow the instructions online. By ordering online you avoid the $1 per order form processing fee on paper orders, and online orders are processed immediately therefore avoiding the four- to six-week delivery time.
