It is hard to believe that we are just a little over a week away from Christmas and a couple of weeks away from the New Year. Where did the time go? From all of us on the Executive we wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
A large thank you to Brent Robins and crew, first for noticing the sign on Legion street for the branch had fallen down, second for picking it up and third for rehanging it. Hopefully, the sign will remain attached to the pole this time.
The annual Turkey Raffle will take place on Friday, December 16 at 7:00 p.m. Come on out and try to win a turkey or ham for your holiday festivities.
If you haven’t picked up your copy of the 9th edition of the Military Service Book; please see Kandice. To date the names and Military Service histories of 88 Tobermory veterans have been listed. WW1, WW2, Korea, Afghanistan and NATO are covered. The Books are free and Kandice has a list of veterans in each book.
