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 MAY 16TH 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.

Parents are requested to “corral” their kids from time to time in order to maintain order and maximize the enjoyment for others.
