RCL Branch 52 Newsletter for September 2015
Well, Quarry Days has come and gone, and
harvest is well in hand. You know what that means! Our annual Fall Supper is
nearly upon us! The date this year is Sunday, October 18. It will be held in
the Legion Hall at 459 Veteran’s Way (Main Street), Stonewall, MB. Phone 204-467-2261
for further information.
There are two things that we always need
for a successful Fall Supper. First off, we need pies! The community expects us
to have lovely, delightful, delicious pies for dessert. If you do not bake
(like me), or if you are not confident of your baking prowess, you can either
buy some pre-made pies at the store (if these pies are not cooked, be sure to
cook them before you donate them – been there, done that, got the tee-shirt
LOL!) or you can donate some cash to the Ladies, and they can buy some pies.
Either way, we all win! You can also donate cash or food (such as butter) to
the supper. So that is the first thing that we need.
The second thing we need is YOU! Yes, we
need a lot of volunteers to make this thing work. We need people to peel
potatoes and set the tables and cook stuff and sell tickets on the day and take
tickets at the door and seat people at the tables and pour tea or coffee – we need
lots of people. Call 204-67-2261 to volunteer your services. Thanks a bunch.
Speaking of thanks, many thanks are due to
the many people who worked at Quarry Days, both on the weekend and at
preparation ahead of time. This is one of our two major fundraising events for
the year (can you guess what the other one is? That’s right, the Fall Supper!)
and we truly appreciate everyone’s efforts.
Members’ Night is coming up on
September 19 to kick off Legion Week. New Members will be initiated, and other
Members will receive service pins and other recognition. Entertainment
afterward will be provided by Marvells. There will be fun and games and food for
all.
Other events in Legion Week will be Church
Parade on Sept. 20 and the annual Seniors’ Tea (I think -- I need to check on that).
The patio has been a big hit this summer.
Thanks to the Members who donated their time (and muscle!) to set it up. Rumour
has it that the patio might stay up all winter this year; check out the website
from time to time for updates and this and other matters.
