MEOTA — With the snow melting almost overnight, it’s exciting to see the town returning to life after a long winter. Every day when I’m out for a walk, it’s great to see so many people out walking and especially so many pushing strollers. There’s lots of talk over coffee row about the fact that Meota could and should have a daycare. I was visiting with the Edam town administrator, and she shared that Edam has a group of volunteers who are busy fundraising to build a childcare center in Edam. There appears to be good momentum for their fundraising. Meota might want to check into what they’re doing.
Meota does have someone new running the general store. It’s important to support local businesses to keep the businesses we all rely on. All the best to Sam as he gears up to serving this community and hopefully the community will make it worthwhile so he can make a go of it.
The Lions have had their general meeting, and I was hoping to give more details of upcoming events. They are still selling tickets for their fundraiser, where you guess when the golf cart will sink. I walked to the lake to assess the ice before filling in my guesses. I couldn’t believe the flow of water coming from the golf course that was flooding the ice on the lake. I figured that’s going to help sink that golf cart pretty soon. If you haven't got your tickets yet, you could be missing out on the $1,000 payout.
The Lions are also having an upcoming bingo. Check out the posters at the Do Drop In and the post office.
One last reminder that we’re all hearing. The election is around the corner. Please make the effort to vote.
