Arden Legion Branch #334

Tom Dewey, President, Br. #334 | Apr 13, 2022

At our regular Branch executive meeting held on March 16th the following charities were selected to receive a donation of $1000 each from our branch Poppy Fund.

• Zone G-1 Youth Education (Literary, Poem & Poster Contest)
• District G Hospital Trust Fund
• Ontario Command ‘Leave the Streets Behind’
• Zone G-1 Veterans Care
• Madoc Army Cadet Corps #385
• Legion Villa, Kingston

This donation was only made possible, because of the generous and thoughtful donations made by residents of Arden, Cloyne, Denbigh, Harlowe and Northbrook during last years ‘Poppy Campaign’ into the Poppy boxes placed in the many businesses throughout our area.

Over the last two years while having to deal with covid, our businesses have been so supportive in allowing us to place collection boxes in their facilities. Without their support and your generosity, none of this would have been possible.

I would like to especially thank our Poppy Chairman, Ken Scobie and his team for all their time and effort going out to the various businesses placing and collecting the boxes.

At the Zone G-1 meeting held in Napanee on Sunday, March 20th comrade Peter DesRoche presented these cheques on behalf of Arden Br. #334. Throughout Canada each year, the Legion with their Poppy Campaign, raises money for our Veterans and their families. This money is administered through the various Charity Organizations approved by the Royal Canadian Legion, Ontario Command.
