Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!
The Lion’s Head Legion Executive is inviting members to become more involved with the
Branch. Attend the next General Meeting on Thursday January 3, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. to
support the installation of Dave Uren as Sergeant-at-Arms. Please wear your uniform, if
possible. If you do not have a uniform, you can still attend as a member to support your
Legion Branch members.
Volunteering is always commendable as the work is often completed behind the scenes.
Consider signing up as a host or lunch provider for the Friday Night Euchres attended by
many community members. The Legion Branch will host the Friday Night Euchres from
February to June. Phone Don Colter at 519-793-3473 or sign up at the Legion, if you are
available to host or to make lunch.
Thank you to the Ladies Auxiliary who hosted the Friday night euchres from September to
January. The Ladies Auxiliary meeting is held on the second Tuesday of the month at 1:30
p.m. Join the Ladies Auxiliary and attend the pot luck luncheon at 12:00 p.m.

you will be able to attend. Tickets will be $15.00 with Chef Wayne Morningstar preparing
