They discussed their normal business and their upcoming events. They will be providing lunch for the Huron County darts on Saturday. They also have other catering events on the schedule. The Cadets met on Tuesday evening and are busy practising for their upcoming inspection. The Thursday night darts had a good bunch attend the evening. The first-place team was Norm Dobson and John Harrison. The second place team was Sandra Josling, Adam Smith and Dale Sauve. The high shots were by John Harrison with 133 points and Kathy Cochrane with 131 points. The Friday night supper of shake and bake chicken legs with salads was enjoyed by almost 40. This week in recognition of St. Patrick’s Day it will be Irish beef stew. There will be Irish tunes as well. Saturday was a dart day at the Branch as the Huron County dart players were in attendance. The auxiliary ladies were on hand to provide lunch. Sunday was the cooking bee. A little conversation made lots of noise. The old saying that too many cooks will spoil the oroth will not hold true this time. The aromas of lasagna, meatballs, cabbage rolls, and Hungarian goulash filled the kitchen. Look forward to these delicious creations in the coming weeks. President Rick McDonald attended the Zone council meeting in Lucknow on Wednesday evening. The upcoming Zone Convention in Seaforth was discussed. A lovely thank you note was received from Cliff Huffman of Walton for the use of a wheelchair from the Legion. There are two chairs available for loan for anyone in need. Contact the Legion. Pop tabs are still being collected and we will soon have enough to send off.

Visits to the shows of your choice are all intended to give your soul a lift. Plans, hopes, dreams and good intentions are all part of the passing of the seasons. Oh to dream.

If you’re reading this on Wednesday morning remind your young friends of the opportunity to go skating at the arena and then back to the Catholic Church for goodies and games.
