Our heartfelt thanks for those who have given so generously to give the old farm house, or as we have lovingly called it, the Red House, vanamaja, mudimaja, punane maja, a much needed refresh. This will help to continue the legacy that was created by the four seltsid: Hamilton, Kitchener, London and St. Catharines, by friends and relatives 68 years ago, back in 1955.
There are only 3 weeks left of our campaign and know that your love and memory of Seedrioru will surely help us to reach our goal of $100,000… and don’t forget that you have a chance to win a prize!
GRAND PRIZES: Two (2) prizes of 1 week of camp for a child
FIRST PRIZE: Seedrioru Hall Rental
SECOND PRIZE: Two (2) prizes of a Sauna Night for 15 people
THIRD PRIZE: A weekend stay at the Koldetare (2 nights)
Prizes will be drawn on June 24th at Suvihari, after dinner and before the aktus begins, in the clearing by the memorial ausammas.
• create a ‘Giving Wall’ of all those who so generously gave
• publish your name in this paper, Eesti Elu
• and list your name with thanks, in the Seedrioru Kavaraamat, if received by June 15/23
Our final plea to all of you who have not given yet – best to hear it from the littlest campers – those who have been and from those who are attending in the summer of 2023.
“I like to explore. I like my friends. I like the food. I like to play there.” – Sofia
“I like that I get to stay with my friends, I get to go swimming lots and I like when we play outside.” – Taavi
“I like swimming the best and playing in the sandbox with my best friend Taavi.” – Sander
“I like to play with my friends, swimming and the food!” – Aleksa
“I like to play on the equipment, sleep there, the food, but didn’t like the bathroom at the Mudimaja.” – Luuka

“We already have our suitcases packed for camp!” – Liisu and Aili
When you drive through the Seedrioru gates, whether for Suvihari, dropping kids off at camp, or for an event; immediately on your right, stands the Red House that was there from the very beginning. Then comes the tug of the heart, a flash of a memory, ending with a smile on your face and a happy tear in your eye. Priceless memories.
We can’t do it without all of your help!
Let’s keep making memories for generations to come.
Elagu lapsed!!
Elagu Seedrioru!!
