At the Branch
10 take their shot at mixed blind darts
By Jo-Ann McDonald
The Thursday night darts at the
Brussels Legion had 10 people take
aim at the boards. The first-place
team was Norm Dobson and Gord
Jacklin. In second place were Adam
and Kaye Smith.
The high shots were by John
Harrison and Gord Jacklin both
shooting 120. The high starts were
by Harry Smith shooting 80 and
Tracey Tait shooting 86. The high
finish was thrown by John Harrison
shooting 93. The fifth skunk of the
year was earned by Harry Smith and
Roy Machan.
Blind mixed darts means that you
can play any time you can attend.
There is random partner selection
and it only costs $1.
The Friday night supper of
chicken and rice was enjoyed by all.
This week is sausage and sauerkraut.
The Saturday afternoon euchre
had 13 tables at play. Top players of
the day were Len and Betty
Archambault earning 87 points. In
second were Charlie and Millie
Johnston (78). Third place went to
Carman and Ila Pollock with 76
points.
The low prize lottery tickets went
to Bush Whittard and Olave Papple.
Lucky lone hand prize winners were
Clarence Hoy and Lorna Ellis.
Euchre is every two weeks at 1
p.m.
The Sunday singles dance had
over 90 enjoy the music of the
Georgian Bay Islanders. This was a
new band for the Legion crowd.
Welcome back to Sandra Josling
who enjoyed a working holiday by
riding along in the big truck with Jim
to Florida.
The general meeting for January is
Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 8 p.m. All
Comrades can attend the general
meeting and let their voices be
heard. New ideas for fundraising are
always appreciated as are members'
opinions on the running of the
Branch.
Come out and support the
executive.
Membership is very important and
numbers have dropped for many
reasons. With the majority of
veterans mostly over the age of 75,
the commitment to their aid will
lessen, but not the commitment to
the community. There are many
youth and senior programs that the
Legion is involved in. To build and
keep our ties strong we need to also
build our own membership.
Joining the Legion is no different
than joining the Lions, Optimists or
Kinsmen. All groups are working to
support their community, but in the
Legion's case, there is also a facility
to maintain. The costs are helped
because of the ability to rent the
upstairs hall for meetings, smaller
weddings and other events, but it is
very under-utilized.
Membership matters and so does
the potential membership of
relatives, friends, business associates
and others who believe in what the
Legion can do.
A new member does not have to be
serving in the Canadian Forces to be
eligible, and they don't have to be
affiliated with someone who has
served in he Canadian Forces.
You do have to be a Canadian
citizen or Commonwealth subject.
Here are six reasons why you
should become a Legion member: to
belong to a national organization
that supports Canadian Veterans and
promotes Remembrance, to support
your community through Legion
programs and activities, for
friendship and recreation, to expand
your skills and talents by
participating in sports, public
speaking, helping seniors,
leadership, youth development and
social and other activities, to have
access to a great list of discounted
products and service through the
Legion Members Benefit Package
and to receive Legion magazine six
times a year.
It's a new year and maybe time for
you to join Brussels Branch 218. For
more details call membership
chairman John Harrison at 887-9865
or the Branch at 887-6562.
The Royal Canadian Legion and
you can share in building,
community spirit in Brussels in
2006.
