29 supporting Lucknow
Legion Poppy Drive
Volunteers will be out in
force this weekend for the
Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 309 Lucknow Poppy
Drive.
The Oct. 29 Legion fund-
raiser takes place every year,
and Canadians across the
country wear a lapel poppy
as a symbol of national pride
and respect.
The visual pledge symbol-
izes a commitment to never
forget the sacrifices made for
our freedom. Although the
poppies are distributed
freely, the Legion gratefully
accepts donations to the
Poppy Fund, an account that
is held in trust.
Use of poppy funds is
strictly regulated by the
Legion.
The funds are used to
directly support Canada's
serving and retired Veterans
and their families, while pro-
moting remembrance to all
Canadians.
At Branch 309, poppy
funds are used for the fol-
lowing: Annual Veterans'
and Widows' dinner, Youth
Remembrance Poster, Poem
and Essay contests, Bursa-
ries for postsecondary stu-
dents, Goodie bags for Veter-
ans at Parkwood Hospital in
London, Sponsoring a Vet-
eran at Parkwood Hospital,
and Contributions to the
Ontario Command Branches
and Ladies' Auxiliaries Char-
itable Foundation.
The Ontario Command
Branches and Ladies' Auxil-
iaries Charitable Founda-
tion, a registered charity, is a
