On Saturday, June 13th we will be celebrating George Bowman’s 95th (!) birthday at our branch from 2:00p.m – 5:00p.m. Please stop with best wishes only to say hi to George and have a coffee, tea, cake, or something from the cash bar.
On Sunday, July 12th, we will be holding an open house to celebrate the 95th anniversary of Branch 202 as well as the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion. More information will be shared in a future article about both, but please mark your calendars. If you have anything you’d like to give us ‘on loan’ for that day to put on display, or some memorabilia that you’d like to donate, we will be happy to collect the information and make up an information card for that item.

Our free weekly Tai Chi classes are Fridays, 9:30 to 10:30 am. This is open to the public so if you’re interested just come out a few minutes early, and bring a dry pair of shoes with you. The focus of the moves are to stretch, improve balance, and of course, have fun. This is not a “hot” workout so casual wear is fine.
Branch address is 6 Hellyer Road. Come out to play cornhole every Thursday at 1:00 pm, but bring your darts in case it rains. Contact me at branch202pro@gmail.com for more information about our Branch.
Lest we forget
