Lounge Destroyed by fire 1988
In 1981 the Brussels Legion celebrated its 50th Anniversary. There were 208 members at that time. Now 10 years
later our membership is growing. During the 1980*s the Brussels Legion has given generous donations to local
clubs and activities. Through the sale of Nevada tickets we were able to donate around $40,000.00 to things like
minor hockey, Brownies & Girl Guides, public speaking contests, Santa Claus parades etc. Probably the most
memorable event that happened during the ’80*s was the fire that destroyed the Legion Hall in 1988. Thieves broke
into the legion and stole about $250.00 worth of beer, cigarettes and snack food. They left about $250,000.00 worth
of damage as they set fire to the lounge when leaving the scene. A decision was made to rebuild the hall and
update some facilities such as a public address system and air conditioning. Within 6 months the Brussels Legion
Branch 218 reopened its doors.
