Last month the Meadowlark
Community League Board voted in
favor of allocating $50,000 from the
casino fund to the Playground
Acquisition and Renewal Fund! That, along with the money
raised at the Community BBQ in September, will help to get
the project up and running. However, we’ve got a long way to
go and we need help! We’ve got a list of volunteers that we’ll
be calling soon, but if you want to help out or donate please
email David at [email protected]
One of our residents has been collecting items found
throughout the community. If you have lost
something, please call John at 780-489-0589 to
identify.
In the month of January, Meadowlark
Community Hall produced enough
power to light the Eiffel tower for 20
minutes!

Letter to the Editor
Dear neighbours,
On January 22, I put a big green bag of bottles out by my front
door on 93A Ave. The bag was clearly marked that it was for
Winnifred Stewart. It was taken by one of you. I choose to donate
my bottles to Winnifred Stewart because I support their cause. I
am sure your cause is equally important, but it is not my
choice. This is not the first time this has happened. If it is for your
own pocket - shame on you. Consider yourself lucky that you
don't have to rely on an organization such as Winnifred Stewart,
but have empathy for those that do.
Bibles for Missions Store: requires volunteers
for 4 hour shifts. Variety of positions available.
15922 Stony Plain Road. Please call Joan at 780489-6958 to help or get more information.
