Tobermory Legion Branch 290 News: Welcome to March

Submitted by Elaine Sinha

As the province starts to lift restrictions and people cautiously venture out, the Legion is starting to open up to more activities. Planned events for this month include Trivia night, a breakfast and for the first time in 2 years, Euchre. 

As well as those activities, every Saturday there is the Meat Draw and Bingo every Monday at the Community Centre.

Dunk’s Bay Graveside Markers

A reminder that Doug Smith is interested in gauging the interest of the community and family members of Veterans interred at Dunk’s Bay Cemetery in purchasing a gravesite marker. The markers are a metal plate 3” x 4” mounted on a 11” metal spike. They are proudly made in Canada and the cost to purchase would be $25.00. There is a marker at the branch should you wish to view it in person. 

If you are interested in purchasing a marker for your family member or sponsoring a marker for one of the 125 Veterans interred at Dunk’s Bay, please contact Doug at dsmith@amtelecom.net
