On September 15, a happy group of Branch 496 RCL members made the rounds to three other Legion Branches. A total of 25 members joined in. The other Branches visited were Branch 231 in Portland, Branch 244 in Perth and Branch 542 in Westport. Our Sydenham members were warmly welcomed in all locations, and Branch 231 was particularly gracious by providing lunch for everyone – and this on a day when they are normally not open. These visits contribute to the ongoing camaraderie that all Legions are well-known for.
In addition to the RCL’s annual poppy campaign, on Sunday, November 11th, the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One will be marked with many special events. One initiative in particular will be of interest to all those in Sydenham and vicinity. The Legion’s intent is to have every bell in every community across Canada ring in unison or independently (within that community) 100 times at sunset on 11 Nov 2018 to signify the 100th anniversary of the WWI Armistice. Over the next few weeks you will see additional details of which Churches will participate and how you can be involved. Why not start off by thinking about members of your own family who served in the Great War?
