Hi May with November temperatures! The Tobermory Royal Canadian Legion branch 202 is now open Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 3:00 pm. Stop in and welcome Raelene, our new bartender!
Save your Pop/Beer Tabs and deliver them to your local Legion Branch. Tabs can help purchase needed items such as chairs, walkers, canes, crutches and commodes. Please take the moment to wiggle the tab and give to a great cause.
Darts time has changed to 7:00 pm on Thursdays. As usual, Meat Draw is Saturday at 4:00 pm and Euchre is the last Friday of the month at 7:00 pm. All are welcome to attend.
We are now in month five where new members can get a free legion membership, part of celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion (actual date is Friday July 17th) – a century of standing with Veterans, strengthening communities and honouring the memory of those who served. Please consider joining, this is your ‘free’ chance. We would love to add more people to this great organization AND to have a few new members at our local branch. Please consider joining and help support veterans and your local legion.
