Hello September! Depending on where you are driving, you can already see some leaves changing into their fall attire!

Meat draws are still happening on Saturdays starting at 4:30pm, Euchre is on the last Friday of the month starting at 7:00pm and September 26th is the last Progressive Euchre game. Try your luck at darts, every Thursday starting at 7:00pm. BINGO is at the Tobermory Community Centre on Wednesdays starting at 6:00 with the games beginning at 7:15pm.

A BIG THANK YOU to Pat Boyle and crew for making and installing the cement slabs for our shed and thanks also to the crew of volunteers who jacked up the shed for this operation! 

The Earlybird Membership Renewal Campaign has begun! Earlybird price is $55.00 until November 30 when it then increases to $65.00. Please come and support your legion and renew your membership! 

National Legion Week is taking place from September 21 to 27, 2025. Watch the board outside the branch for details!
