The next Legion Branch General Meeting will be held on on Thursday January 2, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. We
need at least four more Legion members to attend the General Meetings to ensure quorum to carry out
the important financial business of the Legion and to discuss and approve future business for the
upcoming events and activities. Wearing a uniform is not necessary at this meeting. The Legion Branch
Executive meets at 1:15 p.m.
The Legion Branch will host the Friday Night Euchres from February to June. If you can volunteer, either

lunch. There is a sign-up sheet available at the Legion. The cost for euchre is $3.00 per person with a light
lunch. There is a Municipality approved licenced 50/50 Draw available. The proceeds from the 50/50
Draw are returned to the community through donations to the many group charities in Northern Bruce
Peninsula and youth events within Bruce County.
