The Citizen, 2009-06-25, Page 23By Jo-Ann McDonaldThe Brussels Legion Branch had aquiet week but there were someinteresting events happening aboutthe Royal Canadian Legion. The RCL Tri District ABC HospitalCommittee was awarded the St.Joseph’s Partner of DistinctionAward for its involvement inprograms at the hospital. Comrade Eric Ross attended the presentationin London, as vice-chairman of thecommittee.This week is the week that 60veterans from Parkwood and SunnyBrook Hospitals go to camp. They attend the CNIB Camp at Lake Joseph near Mactier. They are there four days and spent time fishing, boating, enjoying the outdoors, doing crafts, the sunshine, barbecues and the quiet and serenity of beautiful sunsets.They have a HoeDown and a great time out of the hospital setting. Comrade Eric Ross was up for a day with Comrade John MacDonald in their capacities as members of the Tri District Hospital Committee. It was a District track and field held on the weekend at Kincardine. The Branch sponsored five athletes. Tyler Smith earned a second place in the 200m. run, third in high jump and third in long jump. Tilynn Ducharme placed sixth in shotput and sixth in long jump and Wyatt Ducharme placed seventh in the 200m. and eighth in the 100m. Lani Smith placed fifth in the 200 and long jump and sixth in the 100m final. Tori Kellington placed sixth in both the 200 and 400 m. One parent reported it was a wonderful experience for the kids and they learned so much from speaking with other athletes and coaches. It is her hope that the school would encourage more of the children to participate in the Legion track and field program. Comrade Eric Ross was there helping out at the event. The Friday night supper of roast pork was enjoyed by a great crowd. This week will be a variety ofthings. There will be some chickenbreast, beef and more. This will be the last supper until fall. The fish fry crew was off to Mitchell Branch on Saturday. They fed 145 folks. Helping at the fry were Rick and Jo-Ann McDonald, Judy Lee and Greg Wilson. Brussels Cemetery Decoration service is this Sunday at 2 p.m. We hope more people will be able to join us this year. The elimination draw tickets areavailable, so Comrades areencouraged to drop into the Branchand get some tickets to sell. Ifeveryone does a little, it cuts down on some members doing a lot. There is also a list of dinners that all require help, so sign up and volunteer to help out at some. Just speak with Sandra, Jacqui or Jo-Ann. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 2009. PAGE 23.
