Shelburne Legion news
October 30, 2015 · 0 Comments
It is that time of year again. We all took a oath to actively participate in the Poppy Campaign the sign up sheets are posted at the branch.
The Legion assists veterans with disability claims, offers a hand up to veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and provides bursaries to children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of veterans. And that is not all – the Legion also supports drop-in centres, funds meals on wheels and housing and care facilities for elderly and disabled veterans and their families. Most branches have medical supplies that can be loaned out to anybody in our community, such as bath seats, walkers, wheel chairs etc. Just call or speak to one of the bartenders and they would be happy to assist you with your needs.
October 30th is Red Friday wing night.
Saturday October 31st is Halloween, with a children’s fundraiser in the back hall from 12:30 to 4 p.m. – all proceeds go to Megan’s Walk and Sick Children’s Hospital for brain tumor research.
At 9 p.m. is our adult Halloween Bash with D.J. Jerry Daniels, the cost to get in is a food or financial donation to the local Food Bank. There will be a light buffet at 11 p.m. Lots of prizes and tons of fun.
