12 THE NEW TANNER Legion news Branch no. 197 By Sharon Graham P.R.O. Comrades, On February 13 the members that run the euchre on Friday nights presented two cheques to the Acton 197 Typhoon Air Cadets and Compass Rose Navy Cadets. On behalf of the branch we thank you. A sure sign that spring is in the air with the weather getting a bit warmer through the day. In a couple of weeks it will be time to put the clocks ahead. Spring officially arrives in just three weeks. Our next general meeting will be held on March 12, at 8 p.m., for all members. There will be a St. Patty's Day Dance with Ronnie and the Corvairs on March 16. You just need to mark your calendar. The dance will be held in the games room. Well it is time to get your Irish up and dress in all your green. This is a dance for all members and guests to come out and have a great time. We hope to see you all there and remember to wear green. It is a great time to be Irish.

Quality/service/Price with 25 years experience Town Digest Insurance update The Town received 67 insurance claims last year, 54 that were closed. An annual insurance claim activity report showed the remaining 13 open claims, and 14 open claims received prior to 2011, resulted in 27 open claims with a potential exposure for the Town of $144,742. The Town paid out $38,440 in 2011 for current and prior year claims. The potential exposure of $144,742 would be paid from a Self Insurance Reserve. Furniture tender With an upset limit of $250,000, Business Interiors by Staples will supply the Town with Global Boulevard office furniture over the next two years. The contact also includes extension options. General committee members awarded the tender last Tuesday, and that vote is expected to be ratified by Council at its next meeting. The Global line has been the Town's standard since 2002, and staff said Business Interiors by Staples has been "very responsive and responsible" over the past 10 years.
