JULY 2019 Newsletter
Branch No. 52 in Stonewall, MB is getting into the summer swing of
things!
On June 2 we had our annual Decoration Day Parade, marching from the
Branch to the Cenotaph. Thank you to all who participated in any way.
Our summer Barbecues are being held on Friday nights, in the Club Room
from 5:30 until 7 or so. Friday Meat Draws are always popular, from 6:30 until
about 8. To volunteer for either of these activities, call the Branch at 204
467 2261. There is also a Meat Draw on the last Saturday afternoon of each
month, at 3 p.m.
The big event of our summer is of course Quarry Days, from August 16 –
18. There will be Beer Gardens in the afternoons on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday; pancake breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday; and live entertainment Friday
night and Saturday night. For details, call the Club Room. There is still time
to get your name on the volunteer list for the weekend, if you are so inclined.
Many hand make light work after all!
Our Building Maintenance Manager reports that the concrete steps on the
north side have been replaced with nice new ramps. This has little impact on
the visiting public, since we enter on the east or south side, but for
deliveries of food and beer and other supplies, it is a most welcome improvement.
Thanks to all who helped out, and especially to the folks from G & A
rentals who lent us the jackhammer. Boy, that was appreciated!
We at the Legion want to welcome everyone to join us for fellowship. Each person who walks
through our doors is important, and it is important that we volunteers and
staff make them feel important. Here are a few tips:
Key Principles of Hospitality
-- S.E.R.V.I.C.E.
The word SERVICE represents the
following 7 key guiding principles in creating a more welcoming and hospitable
Legion environment.
S – Smile
E – Enquire; ask “how are you”, “what
can I do for you today?”, etc.
R – Remember; make an effort to
recall visitors’ names and greet them when they return
V -- Very nice to see you
I – Introduce yourself
C – Connect; find some common ground
for casual conversation
E -- Entice to join/return; your
welcoming attitude is a great incentive for visitors to return!
