awards evening to honour many mora deserving members for their efforts on behalf of Branch 120 Auxiliary members dont forget your general meetings this Thursday evening beginning at p and is a supper Everyone please bring something It sounds like It will be a good evening to attend Im surprised to learn that some of our members are taking advantage of the fact that we have tickets left over for our New Years Eve dance and are coming in for more than one ticket or their gusts It did say In the paper that any tickets left over on Monday December lSlh would be sold to members for their guest with member signing for the ticket Singular not plural December 3rd Issue No doubt a lot of us would like to take friends and it is much fairer to all members if only one extra ticket Is available to them that way we ail get the same chance Jason Fields when are you going to pay off that dare bet or wager I dan know what It Is all about I was Just Hiked to ask you months when It was proposed that the Branch do something for these many good people and to rccognUe their services over the past years beginning with members who had Started way back In the The committee comprised of Chairman Henry Buster Hole Mac McLean Ralph Hawes Tom Elliott and Tut Harrison have done a thorough and exceptional Job They thought that this Job would be a cinch but after going back over the records the past 30 years they found it than they figured it so rd given time talent and knowledge to our Branch making It the best Branch in our Zone district and probably in Ontario That Just my personal assessment shared by many other members in the Branch Mac said we are Just honouring a few tonight and throughout the next few months we hope to honour all names on the list Our next date set for Honours is April and Mac that those members honoured at a later date are by no means honoured less than those tonight but the committee started at the beginning and will continue on until all deserving members are honoured CERTIFICATE OF MERIT AWARDS JOHN John was one of our most dedicated members and our hardest worker He would have been so proud to have been so highly honoured by his Branch but It wasnt
