AKEN – the Estonian Canadian Women’s Alumni Association aka Akadeemilised Kanada Eesti Naised organized a bake sale in support of a group of young and “youngish” community-minded, enterprising, energetic volunteers who call themselves “Eesti Maja sõbrad” – “Friends of Estonian House”, who have made it their mission to fix up, to clean up and to make more comfortable and usable our community’s home on Broadview Avenue.
The next time you’re in Esto House, check out what the EM friends have done to spruce up the basement level hallways, the hallway gallery and classrooms! Next on the agenda, the EM friends are going to tackle the large hall (suur saal), a project for which mega gallons of paint will be required. To accomplish their goals, the EM friends will need “a little help from their friends”, that being everyone who loves and uses the “House” that is our community’s home.
You can support the efforts of the “Friends of Esto House” by depositing or transferring some $$ to account #134210 at ETCU. Failing that, you could join the EM Friends club and donate your time and energy instead!
