The Royal
Canadian Legion
Diamond Jubilee
Year
May 1985
May 1986
THE WINGHAM LEGION—is sup-
portive of many local projects, in-
cluding the building fund at the
Wingham and District Hospital.
Earlier this year the Legion
"donated $3,000 to the fund and
has pledged even more money.
LEST WE FORGET—Today's
Legion is a many -faceted organiza-
tion, but its roots still are its
members, including those who
served faithfully in two World
Wdrs. Remembrance Day has a,
special significance to all Legion'
members and services are con-
ducted every Nov. 11.
PUBLIC SPEAKING—The local
Legion sponsors annual public
"speak -off" for elementary. and
secondary school students. The
public speaking contest is only one
of the community -minded projects
of the Legion.
The Wingham Legion, Brarich 180, will be celebrating the dia-
mond jubilee this year along with Legion members from all across
Canada.
Ond of the local Legion's biggest projects in 1985 is its Tulip
Sale. A total of 3, 7QQ blood -red high quality tulips have been sold
with some being donated to local schools.
Several, ambitious Wingham Legion members also will be compil-
ing a history of "the branch" this fall on tape.
Another big event scheduled for this fall is the annual Remem-
brance Day service to be followed by an awards night and a local
speaker.
Many of Wingham's 365 Legion members will be attending func-
tions sponsored by other area branches this year, including the
zone drumhead serviceept. 15 in Goderich.
Branch 180 will host the zone C-1 Convention for 14 area bran- .
ches this October.
The Wingham Legion supports and promotes the following local
groups and events:
• - the building project at the Wingham & pistrict Hospital
- the Wingham Day Centre for the, Homebound
- the Wingham Track & Field Club
- the Wingham Frostyfest and Western Hoedown celebrations
- school public speaking
- school poem and essay contests
- the Wingham Air Cadets squadron
- the Wingham "Legion" PeeWees
- the Wingham Figure Skating Club
It is with great pride and pleasure that I extend to all members of
the Royal Canadian Legion my warmest greetings and good wishes
on the occasion of your Diamond Jubilee.
As we celebrate the many accomplishments of the past 60
years, it is both inspiring and rewarding to note that the spirit of
fraternity, co-operation and'service watch existed among soldiers
during times of war has endured'and evolved during times of
peace. That this spirit is being carried on by the Sons.and
Daughters of the Legion through their continued commitment tthe
service of their community is fitting testimony to the strength and
influence of these convictions.
On this historic occasion, let us pause a moment to reflect on the
noble ideals for which so many died. The Legion may take pride in
knowing that they have kept faith with the memory of that sacrifice,
and will continue to hold high the torch of freedom, justice and
hortb4 through the loyalty and service of their Sons and
Daughters.
