We want to thank everyone who contributed to the Poppy Fund Campaign. As mentioned in the Cape Breton Post, the RCL Branch 126 Westside (Westmount) had a balance of approx. $12,850 at the end of September. Despite the construction on Kings Rd in Sydney River, our commercial partners made close to $10, 820. After this year’s expenses, we now have close to $19,540 in the Fund. Those commercial partners included: The Atlantic Superstore, Needs (Coxheath), The Coop, Noelle’s, My Cape Breton Home, Marty’s, and the Shoppers Drug Mart in Sydney River. We are humbled by your generosity and the obvious support to the Veterans and to our branch. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!
The next cooking class for the kids will be on JUNE 13TH between 9 & 11AM. Kids aged 16 and under are FREE! The purpose of this class is to give the kids something different and fun to do. Unfortunately, it has come to this webmaster’s attention that some of the kids are allowed to be “totally wild.” Branch 126 can be held responsible to accidents and injuries. Parents are requested to “corral” their kids from time to time to maintain order and maximize the enjoyment for others.
The Branch 126 Awards Banquet has been cancelled for this year.
The “last Thursday of the Month Dinner” is on JUNE 25Th. Menu includes Stuffed Chicken Dinner with all the trimmings. Times 4-6PM. We regret that along with everything else, we must increase the cost to $18 from now on. Please contact Allan (577-5653) & Clara (593-2132) for your tickets (max tickets available are 150). Eat in or take out! Tickets will not be sold at the door as we’ve previously mentioned.
Grading Day activities will occur on JUNE 30TH between 10AM & 1PM. Come one, come all – free hotdogs, burgers. Games with prizes open to all would-be contestants (both parents & kids).
With the arrival of summer, the monthly meetings of the Executive, the Ladies Auxiliary, and the general membership will be suspended until September. This also includes the “last Thursday of the Month” dinners and the “Kids’ cooking classes.” Fret not, there will still be activities occurring at the Westside Legion during the summer.
July 1ST, of course, is Canada Day. Due to circumstances beyond our control, Branch 126 Westside will not be celebrating in Petersfield Park, Westmount this year.
On July 25th, we’re hosting a craft fair. Details are sketchy at this time. The webmaster will update this event as more information becomes known.
We’re planning on a golf tournament at Alderdale Greens on Rudderham Rd, Point Edwards.
Tentative date is August 29th. Cost TBA. There will be a small repast following the tournament.
