Reminiscing through 1987 we made note of a few events that transpired. Our Auxiliary to the Branch celebrated their 35th Birthday since their inception in 1952, and through those years theitiecord for volunteer work on our behalf has been a " record they can be very proud of. The Legion treated them to a banquet cooked and served by the members to try and say "thanks" for your fine record of achieve- ment. It is to be hoped there will always be a Ladies Auxiliary. Another milestone was the retirement of our Bar Steward Frank Phillips. Comrade Frank had been doing this job for 210 years and throughout that time has done Steers numerous show cases depicting events and showing artifacts of the two wars. The Branch held an appreciation night to try to say thank you for the years of dedicated ser- vice ervice to the Branch. Seaforth Branch also paricipatedin Zone 'and District sports and also hosted the On- tario Command Cribbage Tolitrnament for 1987, having won the tournament the year before. Unfortunately, time has also taken eight of our memberthis past year. Those who passed on in 198/ were, Archie Dobson, Past President; Elmer Rivers, a past Executive officer; Brown Higgans; George Kruse; Dr. C. Toll, a first War Veteran; Jack Dorsey; Art Rocket and Jean Ziler. We will remember them. The New Year's Eve party was again another success. The Branch would like to thank John Lansink and his committee for another fine job. All tickets were sold and I must say everybody enjoyed themselves. We hope John will be having another one at the conclusion of 1988. There Will Be an lioinours ana Awards night February 13th. Please keep this date in mind.
