The March 11, 2014 general meeting of Branch 13, The Royal Canadian Legion saw a good sized turnout for the special evening
Northwestern Zone Commander Doug Misfeldt was in attendance to install the new executive for the coming year.
Following that impressive ceremony 16 members were initiated into the branch.
Comrade Les Annandale, as acting president, welcomed the initiates into the comradeship of the Royal Canadian Legion following Comrade Secretary Francois Godet's explanations of the purposes and objects of the Legion.
All members present gave their new comrades a warm welcome. It was a pleasure to see so many younger people joining what is sometimes erroneously referred to as an old persons club.
Members were reminded that we are coming into the final semester before summer break for our students and that the Royal Canadian Legion and Branch 13 have bursaries available for deserving students.
Anyone interested can check with the Branch for application forms any day except Sunday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
