Comrades, Remember on Sunday we are having our Branch initiation, plus honours and awards from 1 to 3 p.m. You are invited to come to the Branch to welcome the new members. Spring is just around the corner with the temperature climbing to the mid-teens. It will soon be time to put up the picnic tables and chairs around the patio. We will also be cleaning up the grounds getting ready for planting. Just think, soon all of the horseshoe players will be out getting ready for a new season of shoes. Friday evening is our St. Patrick's dance, and everyone is welcome, with Ronnie and the Corvairs. Don't forget to wear your green, on March 24. There will be a finance seminar at Burlington Branch 60 with Chuck Johnston, the Ontario Command Provincial Advisory Chairman. Registration is 8:30 a.m., with the seminar starting at 9 a.m. On behalf of the Branch we would like to send a speedy recovery to Bev Mattocks. We are glad that Bev is at home recovering. Our prayers go out to you Bev. Ladies Auxiliary Notes The March meeting was held with 29 members present. The door prize was won by one of our new members, Erica Hunter.
