  Here in Manitoba we got an early taste of winter before Thanksgiving. Now we are heading into fall for real, and it is time to thing about the reason for the season – REMEMBRANCE DAY. Branch #52 will hold a Remembrance Day Service in the hall on November 11, starting at 10:45. Come early; there is always a good turnout and space is not infinite, even though we have the biggest hall in town.

  On December 24 we will have our annual Christmas Eve Day party in the club room, with food, fellowship and entertainment. Come out and join us between 2 and 6 p.m. The Club Room will close at 6 p.m. and will remain closed on December 25 and December 26.

  We will have two opportunities to enjoy the musical stylings of The Marvels this season. They will be playing at the Vets Dinner and Dance on November 2, and again at our New Year’s Eve party in the Club Room on December 31. The Vets Dinner begins with cocktails at 5 pm, goes on to dinner and presentations at 6 pm, and continues at 8 pm with the dance. Tickets are available in the Club Room at $15.00 each; advance only. For New Year’s Eve tickets, call the Club Room at 204 467 2261.

    The Club Room will be CLOSED on January 1; have a happy New Year everyone!

  This fall we followed the same pattern as last year in NOT having a Fall Supper; instead we will present the Second Annual Spring Fling on March 15 – save the date!

  The Friday Night Meat Draws continue to be successful, and the Saturday Afternoon Meat Draws (the last Saturday of the month only) have become a regular fixture on our Club Room calendar as well. Come out and join us! Mingle with the members! Win some meat!

  Coming down to join us at the Legion, you will see that our Club Room has a beautiful new floor covering. Thanks to Maintenance Manager Gord Deprez for the all his hard work in organizing this major project. And it came in under budget, too!
