Legion News - Branch 324

By Jan Watson

We held a meeting last week at Talbot Trail Golf Course.

They have offered to help us with anything we need, including running our Meat Draws there on Saturdays. We thank them for their generosity. We’ll let you know when the draws will start.

Our friends and neighbouring Legion Branches have been very supportive following the explosion that closed us down.

Kingsville Legion invited the dart players to join them at their Tuesday night Fun Darts. They hold 50/50 draws and very generously donate the proceeds to our Branch building fund.

Comber Legion also sent us a cheque for our relief fund. We thank them for their generosity.

The Leamington International Hotel has generously set up an area for us from which we can run our annual Poppy Campaign. Poppy Days will be held on Friday and Saturday November 5 and 6.

This year is the 100th Anniversary of the Poppy.

Our annual Remembrance Day service will be held at Two Creeks Conservation Area. Assemble at 10:45 a.m. for the Service which will start at 11 a.m.

The Ladies Auxiliary will host a Halloween Tot Walk at Two Creeks this Friday October 29 starting at 10 a.m. All tots and their moms/dads/caregivers are invited to attend.

We have had several inquiries regarding the memorabilia hanging on the walls in the Branch. We are not allowed into the Branch at this time but be assured that when we are and, if we need to, everything will be removed with care and dignity.
