From the kitchen
Helen Bailey, Secretary

We now have a fully functional commercial grade kitchen downstairs at the Branch. We are looking forward to getting it up and running once the Branch is back to regular hours.   Right now, our summer barbeques are doing very well. If you have not been yet, come on out and enjoy some entertainment, great food, and lots of fun.

See you at the Branch.

A message from Ralph Burke

If you or your sons or daughters are not members of the local Legion you should consider joining. Your Legion does many great things in the community like supporting minor sports and especially veterans in need. It is everyone’s duty to support the Legion and you do not have to be sponsored to join. Their numbers are their strength so visit your branch and pass this message on to your friends in other provinces and territories.

(Legion.ca/join)

We will remember them.
