Happenings at Lion’s Head Legion Branch 202
Submitted by Sharron Colter,
Secretary and Public Relations Officer
The Lion’s Head Legion is preparing for elections for the May 1, meeting. Rob Burchart Zone C-4 Commander will be in attendance. Members are encouraged to attend, to nominate and to vote. The Legion needs members to let their name stand for a position. There is support available to learn more about each position on the executive. The legion executive and members meet on the first Thursday of each month. A full executive is needed in order to continue the work of the legion related to the Lion’s Head and area community outreach for the benefit of the veterans, their family and community members.
The Royal Canadian Legions in every community continue the remembrance of the veterans who fought for our freedom. More now than ever we realize how fragile peace and freedom can be. Volunteer at your legion to keep your community strong and active in helping others, to participate in the Remembrance Day activities, to help at the special dinners and functions to support ongoing monthly expenses and maintenance and to benefit yourself in meeting new people and learning new information.
For fun, the legion continues darts on Mondays and Thursdays at 1:00 p.m. except the first Thursday. Cribbage is also played on Thursdays at 1:00 p.m. The Bruce Men’s Shed meets on Monday mornings for coffee. All are welcome to drop in to have coffee. On Tuesday mornings the men meet for hobby scale model building.
