Hi, this is Wendy Cheal one of the Legion Kitchen elves under the watchful eyes of Helen our supreme leader. I wondered if you could mention how badly we could use helpers for different events that the Legion caters. The duties include bringing a loaf of sandwiches, cutting sandwiches, cheese and preparing the platters to go on the tables. We refill platters and then there is clean up when it’s finished. I understand that these events bring a lot of money into the Legion so the better the event maybe more will happen by word of mouth. Monday there were 4 ladies and no men to help set up tables….2 of us called husbands to come and help. We would appreciate the help and we do have lots of fun in the kitchen. “Many hands make light work”.
If you can help out contact Helen Bailey at hcbailey1@hotmail.com
Thanks so much for your help!

Roy Haggart is organizing this fundraiser. Learn more
Branch 29 Legion has been serving the Veterans the Youth and the Community of Paris Ontario since 1926, 93 years of service. The Branch 29 building was bequeathed to the Branch by Franklin Smoke in 1937
It is increasingly evident that a number of upgrades and renovations are required to keep the Legion here in Paris Sustainable
Accessibility is first and foremost on our agenda.
The first project is the series is the installation of a ground floor wheelchair accessible entrance onto the parking lot. Automatic door openers and a sheltered entrance will provide ease of access to our members and guests. Wheelchair / walker accessibility will be enhanced
93 years of service, let’s work together to continue this service through much needed upgrades to Branch 29 Legion
At the end of the Building Renovation Campaign we will recognize “ALL” contributors on a plaque to be displayed in the Branch Donations may be made on a Corporate, Personal or on a Memoriam basis There are several levels of recognition contact me for more information.
I am Roy Haggart, executive member of the Branch and I am Campaign Chair for this project. All funds raised will be sent directly to the Branch bank account via Go Fund Me.
Thank you for your support, please help us spread the word

Substance abuse help for veterans and anyone needing help.

Many veterans struggle with stress and mental illness, which increases their risk for developing substance use disorders. DrugRehab.com is a free web resource that provides information and support to people fighting substance abuse and addiction.

Our goal is to spread awareness of substance abuse and to be an informational resource for those impacted by alcohol and drug dependence.
