There are exciting events coming up at the Legion in the near future. Members and Guests as well as non-members are welcome at these functions which include the Second Annual Hog Roast and entertainment on Saturday August 20th.
The regular seniors' dinner scheduled for Monday, August 29th will feature roast beef with all the trimmings, while a family corn roast is planned for Saturday, September 17th. Family fun and games will highlight this event and all are welcome.
Tickets for all these events are available at the Branch.
A very special event is planned for October 1st when the Branch will honour area veterans with a dinner. All veterans whether members of the Legion or not are invited to this special salute to and thanks for their past service. If there are any current serving members who are available, they are also welcome to join us. Please contact the Branch for further information. Service Medals may be worn whether in uniform or not.
Golf at TVGCC is still the in-season sport on a Thursday evening with some forty members taking part. We wish to thank the golf club professionals, Pro-Shop as well as F&B staff for making this a fun and enjoyable evening for all.
Crib will soon take over on a Thursday evening starting at 7:00pm, while darts and pool will resume on their regular evenings in the early Fall.
Our August Memorial Service at the cenotaph recognised and paid tribute to associated Canadian efforts and losses throughout our history, emph-asising among others, Dieppe, VJ Day, Sicily and Normandy.
In September, regular executive and general meetings will be back on the agenda and in conjunction with our comrades and members from Bragg Creek, we will be attending the re-dedication of their enhanced Cenotaph. Our own September memorial event will be held at noon on Sunday September 11th. All are welcome as we continue with our monthly tribute to those who fell in the service of our country in conflicts associated with that month.
Don't forget our regular canteen hours with buffet dinners available on Wednesday and Friday evenings from 5:00 or 5:30 to 7:00pm. The kitchen also extends a welcome on Thursday and Saturday evenings with a menu of favourite meals and opens on a Saturday morning from 9:00am to noon for breakfast.

Serving our Veterans,
Seniors, Youth and
the Community.
