Hosting a tourney

the tournament brings together visually-impaired individuals and legion members for fun and
socializing. The tournament has created a bond between the legion and the participants as well
as a supporting agency for the handicapped, the Canadian Council for the Blind. Legion mem
bers helping out were, at the back, from left: District C Chair Glen Bridge, Brussels Second
Vice-President Mike Vader, Brussels President Linda Bird, Zone Commander Eric Ross, Zone
Sports Commander Dave Patterson, District C Sports Bill Johnston, District G Sports, Gord
