October Smokehouse

President’s message

Hi everyone,

Well another month has passed us by. The weather is cooling down and people are starting to move inside. Luckily we have a lot of upcoming events to keep you entertained. First to clear up stuff that happened in September.

Our BBQ’s have come to an end for 2022. It was a decent year for weather but sales were down quite a bit from the last two years. It is mostly due to everything opening up after COVID. Our food costs went up like your grocery bill so prices needed to go up which also could have affected our sales.

We had our first movie night on Sept. 23rd. It was a great movie and well attended. We look forward to seeing more people out at our next movie in October.

Sunday NFL football started and numbers are pretty consistent. Lots of room for watch the game on the big screen. Hotdogs are available and occasionally sausage.

Knitting on Sunday has also started. Come out and bring your yarn and knitting needles

Roy H. Has decided to resign from his position as special project co-ordinator. He was a very valuable asset to the branch over the last 3 years. We are sorry to see him leave and wish him well in whatever he decides to do with his time. If you would be interested in taking on this position please let us know.

Upcoming events:

SPORTS HAVE STARTED: Sports is starting up next week. Tuesday will be the start of Men’s Darts. Wednesday will be Pool. Please note it is full. Thursday will be Ladies Darts. Come out and support sports after two long years of struggle.

Our hours will be changing due to above sports events.

TRIVIA NIGHT (Oct. 13): We are going to have a trivia night on October 13th. Get a team together or come out and test your general knowledge.

HALLOWE’EN PARTY WITH LIVE BAND (Oct. 29): We have a band coming in on October 29th. 5-7PM for Halloween. Dress up and enjoy some music.

300 CLUB TICKETS: Our 300 Club tickets are for sale at the bar. This is a very worthwhile event as it raises money for Christmas hampers.

MOVIE NIGHT: Again we will be holding another movie night. Date and movie to be determined.

Coming in November:

REMEMBRANCE DAY – CANCER BENEFIT – 300 CLUB DRAW: Upcoming in November will be Remembrance Day, a Cancer Benefit and 300 club draw.

MacKENZIE BROTHERS POOL TOURNAMENT (Dec. 3): Starting at 1:00 p.m.

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

Regards,

Donald MacLeod
President

POPPY CAMPAIGN

Dear Comrades,The Royal Canadian Legion Br. 29 Poppy Committee will be conducting their annual campaign commencing Friday October 28th. Poppy boxes will be placed at local businesses starting from that date thru to Friday Nov.11th. Last year over $25,000.00 was raised and we have donated over $17,000.00 to help Veterans and Youth Education this year. 

The Poppy Fund is the Legion’s way of remembering the DEBT WE OWE TO THOSE WHO SACRIFICED SO MUCH.

We will be having our members canvassing at local business this year. There will be a sign-up sheet on the notice board at the Branch, and I ask all members to consider volunteering for a shift.

Member donations can be mailed to the above address, cheques, cash may be dropped off at Branch #29.  Receipts for income tax will be prepared and mailed out to those donating $5.00 or more.

If you have any questions on the campaign or on purchasing wreaths phone the undersigned.

Your continued support of the Poppy campaign is appreciated.

September Smokehouse

President’s report

Hello Everyone

I hope everyone had a great Summer. Nice weather is still going on but days are getting shorter.

The car show was a success. The day was not the best as it started out cloudy and eventually rained. The good news is we had over 70 cars and many people showing up to see the view the vehicles. I would like to thank the Deuces and Eights for their help and all the people that volunteered. Special thanks to the committee members who worked so hard to make this happen – Earl MacDonald, Ed McGuire, Al Robb, Bill Rowsell, Roy Haggart and Andy Moran (retired). We will decide whether to go forward next year after the general meeting in September.

We have an upcoming General Meeting on Wednesday September on the 21st at 7:30 PM. Come out and help us shape the future of your legion.

We will be doing a FREE movie night on Friday, September 23 at 7 P.M. The movie on our big screen is the new Elvis movie. Members and their guests are welcome. Free popcorn will be provided.

Upcoming event scheduled in the upcoming months.

On November 19 we will be holding our yearly Cancer Benefit. This will be the 10th anniversary of this worthwhile event. All of the money stays in the community, to provide transportation for patients to get to their medical appointments.

November is also our 300 club draw. November 26th is the draw date. Tickets will be available this week at the bar.

If you are available to help out at the Branch please reach out.

Have a great September.

Regards

Donnie MacLeod
President

The Poppy CampaignI am looking for volunteers to help on this year’s Poppy campaign.

I am looking for several people to look after delivering Poppy boxes to place of business and ensuring boxes are full of poppies and that donation boxes are picked up and returned to the Branch .

I am also looking for people to help in the counting of money. There will also be a need for volunteers to do tagging on our weekend blitz during the poppy Campaign.

If interested, please contact me.
