The Wingham Advance-Times, 1985-06-12, Page 12Page 12—The Wingham Advance -Times, June 12, 1985 1 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.
