| JANUARY 3, 2025 -- Ekonk has had a busy last few weeks. We had a wonderful turnout at our annual Turkey Supper the week before Thanksgiving. Had a great team as always prepping for two days and putting on a delicious dinner. For our December meeting
we started with an invitation to our members and to the 11 Membership Awards recipients to come early for dinner then presentation of awards. The Cameron’s made a soup and salad dinner. Tried to prepare meal with local ingredients such as beef hamburger for soup from Cameron Farmstead, and some other ingredients locally sourced.
Unfortunately we only had 3 recipients able to make it but it was a nice event. President Jaimie Cameron presented Elena Hermonot with 25 yr certificate; Janet Exley with 50 yr Golden Sheaf and seal; and Dennis Anhberg with his 65 yr seal. Total was 2 @25 years, 40, 45, 2 @ 50, 3 @ 55, 60, 65.
After dinner and presentations we held our meeting with a program on Christmas Trees.
We also took part in decorating a tree for the Sterling Rec. Dept. Tree Lighting Event. Trees were “purchased “ by local groups/ organizations and decorated then all lit on Dec. 13th at a special ceremony with music, singing, cookies & cocoa,
and heard that Santa even stopped by to check it out.
Next meeting is Jan. 6th at 7:30pm. Program is on Forestry. All are welcome.
