40 President’s Report August has come and gone and it seems it was a quiet month for the Branch. Dominion Convention was held in Winnipeg from the 24th to the 28th. Our Branch was well represented, sending seven delegates and one observer. I can’t speak for the rest of my comrades but I learned a lot from the experience. We will have a report at the general meeting this month. Unfortunately, we lost a veteran, Don Cummings, our Legion Color Party and an Honor guard were present for the funeral service on August 29th. Job well done. September is shaping up to be huge month with a fish fry, volunteer party, Legion week, (16th –22nd), and fall supper. Get your tickets early. Take care, Comrades, and hope to see you around the Branch. Respectfully submitted

Bingo Report

Bingo appears to be going well. On Monday, August 27th there was a record number of people downstairs (62). There was an incident with one of the bingo players last month. Upon going home, this individual was mugged; her purse was stolen, and she was pushed down. It is not known whether this was a targeted attack knowing this individual was playing bingo or if it was random. All bingo players: PLEASE BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDING LEAVING BINGO. Casual cashier are still needed, if interested of know of someone who may be, please, get in touch with me. Respectively submitted

A reminder to the ladies who are attending the floor curling in Lac du Bonnet on September 8, ladies should meet at the branch for 11:45 if anyone needs a ride. We are entering two teams but spectators are welcome. We will be looking for helpers for the Veterans and Spouses dinner on September 21. Prepping and setup will be at 10:00, serving and cleanup will be at 5:30. On September 23 the Branch will be having a fall supper. Auxiliary members will be in charge of cleanup between sittings, and need to be at the Branch by 3:00. We will be having a Mug, Spud and steak fundraiser on Oct 20. Tickets are $20.00 and available from Auxiliary members and from the bar. Our annual craft sale will be November 4. If anyone would like to rent a table please call Sandy Chiborak.

The Government of France is awarding a

Special Medal to Veterans of the Second

World War Canadian Veterans of the 1944 campaign to

liberate France may be eligible to receive the

National Order of the Legion of Honour.

Since 2014, the Government of France has

been awarding their highest medal, the Legion of

Honour to veterans that participated in the

liberation of France from June 6, 1944 to August

30, 1944.

This is a very significant official award and it is

equal to the Order of Canada. It cannot be

purchased or ordered and is not given

posthumously. This coming year will mark the 75th

Anniversary of D-day and the liberation of France,

and it is hoped that many more veterans will

receive this great honour. If you are a veteran that

fought in this campaign or directly supported it,

and it includes members of the Army, Navy, Air

Force and Merchant Navy, you may be eligible,

so please apply. There is no fee or cost involved.

If you would like to find out more about this

award or would like to apply, please contact Mr.

Guy Black. I am a recipient of the Minister of

Veterans Affairs Commendation and I am an

unofficial volunteer who has been helping

veterans with their medal applications for the past

4 years. Email: [email protected] and

use the subject, "Canadian Veteran" or send me a

letter addressed to Legion of Honour C/O 515 -

95 Moody Street, Port Moody, BC V3H OH2.

Over 60 Club This year the Over 60 Club games day was very successful. Uncertain weather and smoke in the air led to decision to move the outdoor game indoors. Not only did we see an increase in the number of games participants, we had a high level of interaction among players and spectators. The indoor games enabled people with physical challenges to participate. The games day activities provided a focal center of pleasure, enjoyment, goodwill and fellowship among club members. I want to thank the members who participated in the games and those who helped in the planning and organization of the games. Thank you to Reverend Sharman for your historic military event and grace.

Dexter Harvey

President Over 60 Club

Over 60 Entertainment Games Day turned out to be FUN, FUN, & FUN. All reports indicated everyone had a great time and enjoyed playing inside. It was suggested we always keep the games inside in the future. The few people who did not play thought the juke box was a good idea and enjoyed the tunes. A couple of others said they had a great fun just watching the players. Each team was composed of five players who participated in three different games. The winning team was: Twyla Vandriel Adrian Vandriel Claude Jones Cookie McAuley Lynne Kowal 2nd place followed close behind, Dexter Harvey Jeanne Harvey Glenna Wentworth Randy Adair Grace Hordyski We also had a cribbage tournament in the Games Room. The winning twosome was: Bob Leah & Bob Mundt. 2nd place, only a few points behind was: Helen Starodub & Bev Bruce. Congratulations to all the winners. A BIG THANK YOU to all the workers who helped in keeping the games running smoothly. A special thanks to Jack, Carl, Alice & Lynne for the organizing.
