It has been a quieter week around
the Brussels Legion Branch as
Legion members gear up for the
Christmas season. The Thursday
night darts was cut short by the
hydro outage but the 13 darters were
having a good time prior and while
waiting for the lights to come back
on. Leading before the darkness
were Sheron Stadelmann and Gord
Jacklin. There was a tie for second
between Sharon Robbins and John
Stadelmann and team Bush Whittard
and Sandra Josling. High shots were
by Sandra with 125 and John hitting
127.
Friday had the Branch serving the
funeral luncheon for the family of
the late George Cardiff. Our
sympathies are expressed to all his
family.
Helping at the Branch on Friday
were Comrades Sandra Josling,
Mabel Glanville, Deb Caan and
Mary Bradshaw.
Wings, fries and salads were on
the menu Friday night. A smaller
crowd of about 25 enjoyed the fare.
This Friday will be roast beef.
The days are winding down to get
in the membership draw as an early
bird. The last winner will be drawn
next week, Nov. 30 and then the
price goes up. Drop in today and pay
your dues.
New members are always
welcome to join the Branch. Drop in
and pick up a membership form and
join one of the largest volunteer
organizations in Canada.
The Cadets are still collecting pop
cans and the Branch is accepting the
pop tabs. Drop them in to the
Branch.
There are sports events coming up
for zone. Team darts is this weekend
and single darts in early
December. Sign-up sheets are the
Branch.
The Blyth Brussels team
participated in the Zone Legion
tournament on the weekend in
Lucknow. They played Friday night
against Kincardine and won 5-2.
There next opponents on Saturday
were Ripley and a good game played
with Blyth Brussels winning 3-1.
The final game was against Mitchell
and it was a really tough game.
Blyth Brussels defeated
Mitchell 3-2 in to take the A
championship.
Congratulations to the boys and
their coaches for a very successful
weekend.
We really must remember thewonderful weather of Novemberwhen we start our complainingabout the awful days of January, butwill we? What a gift, double-digit
temperatures and sunshine!
It was fun and laughter on
Turnberry Street on Thursday night
as the businesses of Brussels got it
together and offered folks a fun way
to check out the available
merchandise on the main street.
Colourful sheets of paper listing theparticipating businesses and theirofferings were available as a start forChristmas Education, of the vehiclekind, at McCutcheon Motors,
popcorn at Burke’s Tents, hot
chocolate at Cheryl’s Critters,
donuts at Bondi Restoration and
cider at Maitside Orchard were just a
few of the places ready to be
checked and offering a treat. It was a
good chance to see inside places you
don’t normally frequent and besurprised. For those who missed thefun, get your passport and go see thefolks for a stamp, a peek andhopefully a purchase. The prize,
from a draw of the full-stamped
passports will be done Dec. 31, so
you have lots of time to support the
many businesses of Brussels.
I have a garden stone that says “It
takes a long time to grow an old
friend”. On Thursday night Ralph
and I had dinner with Janis and
Mary: my friends who I first met in
1967 when we were students nurses.
From the first encounter, under the
watchful eye of the nuns at St.
Joseph’s, we connected and the
connection remains. Life has moved
along and we’ve grown and changed
in the years, but whenever we gather,
usually with our partners, the
