Wendy Wills Animal Cruelty When we talk about compassion, it’s usu- ally towards other human beings – family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and strangers. Many of us have pets now or have had pets in the past, and we can and should always show compassion towards animals. Un- fortunately, someone in our neighborhood did not show compassion towards a neigh- bor’s cat. Her cat was brutally hurt; which resulted in the cat dying. This was a hor- rific and sick act on a defenseless animal. The person or persons have not been caught. If anyone has information on who may have done this to her cat, please con- tact us. Please don’t forget to keep a close eye on your animals. 2017 Foundation Members Peter & Rosemarie Achilarre Kevin Boyd Dorie Cox Wendy Miller Amanda & Jerry Muir Debbie & Tim Nast Alan & Ernestine Scharf Ron Solomon Wendy & Chris Wills

Circulation 1250
Lots of events and changes are
happening in Edgewood! In March,
we had our very first and very
successful yard sale held on the
grounds of St. Jerome’s Church and
School. Many residents enjoyed
socializing with other neighbors while
selling their belongings. We had a
bake sale table as well as a table of
donations for our Civic Association to
sell for profit. Edgewood Civic
Association made over $500. Any
unsold items were donated and picked
up by the Vietnam Veterans.
Edgewood volunteers are continuing to
participate in Green Your Routine to
earn money for our neighborhood. We
recently participated at the Fort
Lauderdale St. Patrick’s Day Parade,
and in the month of April, GYR
volunteers will be volunteering at The
Butterfly Garden at Snyder Park and
Household Hazardous Waste disposal
event.
The big Household Hazardous Waste
event on April 8, at Mills Pond Park
(2201 NW 9th Avenue, Fort
Lauderdale). At this HHW, in addition
to the list below, there will be medicine
take back and shredding of documents.
Also, the Salvation Army will be
accepting any clothes or other items
you wish to donate. All you need do is
bring your driver’s license to prove
that you are a Fort Lauderdale resident.
The hours are from 8:00 am until 2:00
pm. (See more details on page 2!)
