Now, for the past seven years, each November 11 the comrades of Branch 540 attend at the Granton cenotaph and maintain a silent vigil along with the Silver Cross Mother - who didn't forget. Tuesday night mixed sports opened with a bang November 9 which saw 14 couples in action. Sports Officer Gord Elson sure had things laid on and a most enjoyable evening was had by all. Comrades take advantage of your Membership - enjoy it - Branch 540 is where all the action is.

As you may know, Branch 540's building fund has started, ad- mittedly it's not very large as yet - but 540's comrades are op- timistic and have a couple of projects under way which should boost the coffers.
