Absolutely impressive and inspiring is how Eden Health Care Services James Friesen describes last Saturday's fundraising concert for the organization. It was standing room only at Winkler Bergthaler Mennonite Church, with about $22,800 raised for the refurbishment of Enns Court located on Pembina Avenue in Winkler. The evening featured soloists Vic Engbrecht and Ray Giesbrecht, and the Winkler Community Male Choir.
"An evening like this, it's spiritual music, it's inspirational music, it's the community singing to itself and each other," said Eden Health Care Services CEO James Friesen. "That's the foundation that Eden is built on is this kind of community support. To see that in a church packed out like this is absolutely inspiring and humbling."
Friesen says renovations have begun at Enns Court, with a three year plan in place to complete the work. "Tonight, again, it inspires us to do better work and more work," noted Friesen. "We're off to a great start."
