The Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 128 Brussels is a hub of
activity in the month of September.
It has been a long standing tradition
that one week in September is set
aside for a celebration of Legion
week.
From Sept. 20 - Sept. 26 is a
celebration for all to reflect on what
the Legion means to all the
veterans and their families and to
all the community around.
The Legion is not just a place to
stop in for a drink. It was created
for a social gathering place for the
men returning from the war. It
serves as a constant reminder that
men gave their lives and or suffered
severe injuries for all of us that we
may enjoy the freedoms we have
today.
From the young to the old, all
enjoy the support the Legion offers
the community. The Legion is the
main support behind the public
speaking that children are involved
in at school. Many fine speeches
have been enjoyed by people and
many speakers have emerged from
the community to excel at public
speaking, as fair queens, MC's for
community events and even radio
personalities.
The Legion has supported and
sponsored many young athletes to
attend different sports activities
from darts to track and field to
hockey teams. It is done without
great fanfare but is done because it
is the commitment of all Legion
Seaforth, two wins, 40 plus four;

The Legion is striving to have
something for all ages to enjoy.
Singles dances have been running
every second week on Sunday
nights from 7 - 11 p.m. for a few
months and are quite popular.
But what about the rest of the
dancers out there? Saturday night
dances are going to begin Sept. 12
with Gary Boyle playing.
Euchre tournaments will be
Saturday afternoons twice monthly
upstairs in the main hall. There will
be no smoking and players bring
their own partner. There will be
$100 in cash prizes. The first one
will be held on Saturday, Sept. 19
at 1:30 p.m.
On Sunday, Sept. 20 from 8 a.m.
- 12 p.m. is the monthly breakfast.
A roast beef dinner will be held on
Friday, Sept. 25 from 5 - 7 p.m. for
only $8 a person. This is being held
in conjunction with an elimination
draw that the Legion is sponsoring
with the Cadets. There are only 400
tickets at a cost of $20 apiece. With
prize money totalling $4,000
everyone has a good chance to win.
The proceeds will go towards the
support of the many good causes
the Legion contributes to, from
youth activities to veteran support
groups and hospitals as well as the
support and upkeep of its building.
Anyone interested in joining the
Legion is invited to come in and
inquire.
Coach Jim Heckman was quoted
in a Mitchell Advocate story saying,
"All the teams were fairly equal,
too, but Coldsprings was easily the
best club there. And we beat them.
Nobody can take that away."
For his part, Knight said the
experience was great. "We enjoyed
ourselves very much and the east-

7:kz121' yo,
First and foremost thank you to Judy and Chris Lee,
without their time, effort and land there would be no
Motocross. Thank you to the volunteers too
numerous to mention by name, thanks to the
suppliers who kept us going. Thank you to the
community for being so accommodating to the 10,000
extra people who visited us and thank you to Trans
Can for having us be part of Motocross. It was a
success on all levels.
See you next year!
