Legion Dress please. There will be a Come & Go reception at the Branch following. If anyone is in need of a ride please Let President Mary Anne Pearson know.

Comrade Albert isour last WWII Veteran.

We hope to see You all there!.

 

Further, we hope to see more friends of the Legion stop by at the Branch when the lounge is open. So you can see the things which were done to make your visit more pleasant. Enjoy the nice summer weather till September when we hope to get back to business.

So keep your eye out for dates of the meetings and functions!

Uncle Mark was a weatherman during WWII and once he was commended by the Air Force Colonel

For his good forecasts in the past weeks for Bombing raids.

So he replied to the officer “ Sir I am just a forecaster so maybe you should thank the Chaplain!”

So the Chaplain said “ Sorry I am in sales, not management.”

Don’t forget – Anyone who has served in the military ( WW II, Korea, SDA, Militia/ Reserve, Still Serving & Dependents, RCMP)
