Branch #164 News
By Cde. Ann Okrainec
Mark on your calendar Tuesday, March 16, 2010 Branch Meeting 7:00 P.M. This is an important meeting and we would like Branch members to show up. Voting will take place for a new President. Cde. Otto Williams had to resign unfortunately due to Health reasons. If you have missed past news items or what’s happening at your local Legion go to our web site http://legion.lacdubonnet.info for updates/photo’s etc. Many of our readers out there were wondering why the Legion Flag was at half mast for so long, so here’s the explanation. This was to honor Comrade John Babcock the last known Canadian veteran of WW1, and Honorary Life Member of the Royal Canadian Legion. Cde. Babcock passed away at the age of 109 years. He was among 650,000 Canadians who served during WWI; through triumphs and tragedies; accomplishments and sacrifices. At the time of Cde. Babcock’s passing we united across Canada to honour the 68,000 Canadians who fell and to renew our pledge to never forget. How about those Olympics’ in Vancouver? I’m still trying to catch up on sleep. The Canadian Athlete’s are to be commended for their sportsmanship and all the gold they received. However, the Canadian Men’s Hockey Team was a stopper; they knew how to keep us glued to TV and our seats. Now that spring is due soon around the corner remember our Giant Garage Sale is coming up May 22, 2010. Hold on to your items (unfortunately we do not have storage room) as the time gets closer we will have more information on pick-up and deliver. No baby furniture or clothes. The Branch will be hosting a dinner and Dance with live music March 20th. Tickets available at the Bar. Tickets are still available for the 43rd Biennial Convention taking placing in Winnipeg in June. The Branch receives a partial amount for selling tickets. July – August 2010 the 49th Legion Athletic Camp at the Peace Gardens will be taking place. Twelve exciting Sports are open to students. For more information contact Cde. Jackie Hampshire at 345-8665.
By Cde. Ann Okrainec Hi everyone, and here we are in February already. The weather person has certainly blessed us with warm weather and not too many storms. The roads have been good. Some of our comrades have gone away to warmer places and found it cool or stormy and others are still on holidays. However, all events at the Legion are on-going, and many thanks to the spares who come out to fill in at different games/cards etc. The February Jam fest was on as usual, the first Saturday of each month. A big shout out to all the participants who came out to play and sing on an unsettled night of snow and winds. In conjunction with the Jam Fest the Entertainment Committee held a fish fry; this was very well attended, and tasty. Great job of all participants involved for both of these events. Due to a shortage of time there will be no Valentine Dance this month. However, watch the bulletin board next month. There will be a dinner and dance held Saturday, March 20. A baked ham and scalloped potato dinner will be served. Tickets will be available at the lounge. On Tuesday, February 9th Cde. Sharron Wickstrom, Poppy Chairperson, presented a cheque of $3,100.00 to the Lac du Bonnet Personal Care Home from monies raised by the Poppy Fund. This will purchase an Acmax 80 Quantum pressurized mattress and four Invacare 9669 Drop Arm Commodes. This was possible only with the kind donations from the residents from Lac du Bonnet, Pinawa, Whitemouth and surrounding areas. A good job done A little reminder on the Royal Canadian Legion Troop Morale Fund. The Lac du Bonnet Legion participates in this event the last Friday of each month. Remember all monies taken in for coffee purchased goes to the Troop Morale Fund. This is an initiative of the Legion to buy each of our troops posted to Afghanistan a Tim Horton’s coffee and doughnut at least every two weeks. It will continue to collect funds for this purpose until the mission ends. Spring Fling is in swing again and this year it will tie in with Manitoba Homecoming. I shall keep you posted in the future of times/places/food. Recently the Branch held a perogy bee and many bouquets to all who came out to help with preparing and cooking. I truly appreciate all you do for your branch; another bee will be coming up in the near future, so when you see my name on your call display you know it’s me calling again for your help. A little reminder the local Branch will be holding a Garage Sale on Saturday May 22nd, 2010. As we have no where to store items it will be appreciated if you could hold on to any donations to this event until closer to the date. (No clothes or baby furniture please). As the date gets closer times/pick-up’s etc. will be arranged. Legion Athletic Camp is fast approaching in July and August of this year. If you wish your child to take in the wonderful opportunity of Basketball, Volleyball, Advanced Track, Equestrian, Gymnastics and many more opportunities contact Jackie Hampshire at 345-8665. Meat draws are still continuing on Saturday’s from 2:30 to 4:30 and is being well attended. Sports: Curling: 2010 Provincial Command Curling Championship-Regular Curling.

Ann Okrainec Another busy month has quickly gone by, not sure yet if we are still in
summer with the wet streets and warm weather or winter is playing a little
game on us, and the worse is yet to come. However, I notice everyone is back
in their schedules of curling, darts, table top, etc., which shows we are
tough, hardy Canadians. By Cde. Ann Okrainec Remembrance Day Tribute A little about the poppy’s beginning. Legion Remembrance programs commemorate the men and women who died in the military service of Canada during war and peace. Many believe that maintaining the tradition of Remembrance is a sacred trust and the Legion’s most important role. Districts, zones and branches commit thousands of volunteer hours each year to carry out Remembrance activities. The Poppy has been widely recognized as a symbol of Remembrance, since it was first adopted in 1921. By wearing the poppy, we demonstrate our gratitude to those who gave their lives for the freedom we enjoy. Each year, for two weeks before Remembrance Day, Legions throughout Canada carry out the Poppy Campaign. In 1931, parliament enacted the Armistice Day Act. The Act ensured that November 11th would be set aside as a day distinct and apart from any other observance upon which the nation could pay special tribute to those "who gave their lives that freedom might prevail". In 1970, an act, known as "The Holidays Act:, was passed by Parliament which included, among other holidays, Remembrance Day. The work of the Legion is done primarily by volunteers. Perhaps you have seen a member in your community proudly wearing a uniform, along with their service medals. These members will soon be in the schools and Personal Care homes in the area. The Royal Canadian Legion is a Public Trust of the Poppy Fund. The Poppy monies is not a benefit to your local Legion’s. All monies collected are approved by Command and where the monies go to in your area. The campaign raises awareness of the Poppy as a symbol of Remembrance. The basic purpose of the poppy funds is to provide assistance. Last year Lac du Bonnet Legion’s Poppy Fund Disbursement went to 2 Aspirators, Whitemouth Personal Care Home. One large wheelchair, Pinawa Hospital. One oxygen concentrator and two ajustable round dinning tables, Lac du Bonnet Personel Care Home. Effective October 1, 2008 the Royal Canadian Legion in Lac du Bonnet received notice of the following change to the Dipping of Colours: The Ritual & Awards Committee recommends that the Dominion Executive Council further resolve that all flags, colours, banners and other such devices carried in Legion colour parties be displayed in the same fashion as the National Flag of Canada, and that no dipping of colours of any sort shall be practiced by Legion Colour parties at any function, public or private, with the exception of the Legion Banner during the playing of the ‘Last Post’ for the purpose of Remembrance. This was passed by a December Special Meeting. The Lac du Bonnet Legion would like to give a hugh thank you to everyone who donated money to the Poppy Campaign. Remembrance Day Service was held on November 11, Legion Hall at 10:30 sharp. Along with the service wreaths in memory were laid. Later in the afternoon a very tasty Roast Beef Dinner, was catered and donated to the Branch by the Ladies Auxiliary. The Poppy Campaign was very busy two weeks before Remembrance Day and the Color Parties also carried Colors for all the local Schools and Personal Care Homes in the area. Once again the Ladies Auxiliary supported their Branch by donated $5000.00 to them at the Remembrance Day Dinner. A series of photo's, the Lac du Bonnet Senior School Band, Candle Ceremony and Drama Club. Also our Veterans attending Remembrance Day Service and Dinner. Also is our color party during parade at one of the local schools. (Photo Album) By Cde. Ann Okrainec Darts and Table Top Curling are in full swing once again. Welcome back to all and hopefully a long warm fall. When one drives along the Fall Colors is beautiful. Have you looked at our Cenotaph, with the Fall Colors behind it is just quite striking. Would like to add a little comment here, many of our youth are playing on the beautiful structure placed for our veterans who fought for us. Just a reminder to all this is a place of respect. The Octoberfest Dinner and Dance is coming up this weekend on the 18th. Hope members have their tickets (which can be purchased at the Lounge). Roast Pork/Sauerkraut and extras are on the menu along with a live band. The Ladies Auxiliary‚s Charter Night will be held on Tuesday, October 28 for L.A. members only. Tickets can be purchased at the Lounge. The ladies are quite pleased that the Branch has agreed one again to serve them a hot sit down dinner. In September the local Branch hosted a visitation from ANAF #1 from Winnipeg. Games were played, "Betty & Friends" kept everyone‚s toes tapping and a hot dinner was provided by the L.A. The Alzheimer‚s Coffee Break also took place on the day to coordinate the whole event. Grey Cup tickets are presently being sold by the Branch, get yours, you may be the lucky winner. Listen up guys and gals. The Challenge is on between the Ladies Auxiliary and the Branch. Bowling Challenge that is. Sunday November 2, 12 noon, turn up at the local bowling alley and cheer on your favorite team. The Ladies Auxiliary recently competed in Winnipeg for the Manitoba N.W. Ontario Bowling trophy, and brought it home. This was a great feat, as it eluded the Ladies for quite a few years. So on returning from Winnipeg with victory being theirs they challenged the Branch to fun bowling. See you there. By Cde.
