Submitted by Peter Dodge, PRO

Legion Executive welcomed M.P.P. Bill Walker to the Branch to receive a Provincial Government check for $3995.00, from the Senior Community Grant Program. This Grant allowed Branch 202 to organize a very informative and entertaining Bus Trip for Local Seniors. Special thanks go out to Branch Secretary Sharron Coulter for her dedicated effort in pursuing and obtaining this Grant. Bill Walker, in turn, was very complimentary as to the deep involvement that Branch 202 has in the local Community.
