THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2012 THE NEW TANNER 5 Branch no. 197 Legion news By Sharon Graham P.R.O. Comrades, Just a reminder that the Branch is having a farewell party for George and Alice DeRabbie. They are going to be moving back home to Nova Scotia and we want to give them a send off. The party is on November 3 in the main hall at 8 p.m. We are hoping to see all of the members there. This is an open event and all are welcome. It will be a pot luck so if you can attend and bring something that would be great. Please contact Sharon Graham. The email is sharong@creativenetworkingsolutions. com or contact the Branch and leave a message and I will get right back to you. Sunday, November 11 is our annual Remembrance Day Parade. At 10 a.m., we will be meeting at the Hide House parking lot and marching off at 10:30 a.m., to the Cenotaph for our Remembrance Day Service. After the parade we will be gathering at the Branch in the main hall with the service starting at 12:30 p.m., and a roast beef dinner served at 1:15 p.m. You can purchase your dinner tickets at the bar for $5 until October 30. (No tickets will be sold after this date). We are also looking for volunteers to take part in our door-to-door Poppy Blitz which will be held on Friday, October 26. You can sign the book at the Branch indicating which street(s) you are able to canvas. Remember with your membership you made an oath to help out with the Poppy Blitz so we are hoping to get many members out as it will make less work for everyone. If you have any questions please contact your Poppy Chair, Bob Service, at the Branch or by email bobservice@sympatico.ca Santa has arranged a visit to the Branch on Sunday, December 9. The party starts at 1 p.m. Check that your child's name is on the list posted at the Branch and in the right age group. The cut off date is November 12. Only children of 2012 paid up members of Branch and Auxiliary will be eligible for Santa's gifts. Grandchildren not included. We need the help of all parents. This year Remembrance Day falls on a Sunday. In other years all of the school children attended our Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph. This year the schools are closed. It is very hard to arrange for the students to come out with it being on a Sunday. We would appreciate you bringing your children for the Remembrance Day service in honour of all veterans. So please try to come out for our service on November 11 at 11 a.m. There will be entertainment in the games room on October 27 from 3 to 6 p.m., with Norm Mason. All are welcome to come out and enjoy the afternoon. Last Sunday's drill seminar was a great success.
