May 14 was a special day when members of the Wounded Warriors Foundation stopped at Waseca for about an hour on their trek from Nipawin to Chilliwack, B.C.
The team was headed by veteran Kate MacEachern, who was walking the distance with her 12-year-old son, the distance being more than 2,500 kilometres. They were supported by Lisa riding horseback and others who drove their van, their horse trailer and a truck with supplies for the horses and those who were on the team. Along with them was a tutor for Kate's son.
Those from the village and area had a wonderful visit with the team and supplied refreshments for them as well as water for the horses. During the visit, presentations were made from village organizations. These presentations included a monetary donation and some gifts. We were pleased to support this brave group who are giving so much of themselves to this challenging enterprise. Thank you to those from the village who prepared for this important event. Our best wishes to the members of the Wounded Warriors team for a safe, fruitful trek.
The Waseca Recreation Board will be meeting June 10 to prepare for the Father's Day Brunch that will take place on June 21. Discussion of the raffle draw that is to be made that day will also be on the agenda.
