Saturday BBQ

President’s message

President’s Message . . .

Greetings from the Executive of RCL Branch 29.

We are still only open three days a week – Thursday, Friday, and Saturday – Patio Only. Our plans are to open inside the weekend of September 5, 6, and 7^th. At that time, we hope to start up our lotteries – pull tickets and ‘Catch the Ace’.

Contractors will soon start pouring the cement for our new fire escape, the ramp and the new handicap entrance.

Our Saturday BBQ’s are doing well, come on out and support the Branch. To volunteer to help with our BBQ, call Roy Haggart 519-442-6198. Thank you Paris Fire Fighters Club for the loan of your canopy.

Hoping everyone is well. Stay Safe,

Andy Moran, President, Branch 29
