40 President’s Report August has come and gone and it seems it
was a quiet month for the Branch. Dominion Convention was held in
Winnipeg from the 24th to the 28th. Our Branch was well
represented, sending seven delegates and one observer. I can’t
speak for the rest of my comrades but I learned a lot from the
experience. We will have a report at the general meeting this
month. Unfortunately, we lost a veteran, Don Cummings, our Legion
Color Party and an Honor guard were present for the funeral service
on August 29th. Job well done. September is shaping up to be huge
month with a fish fry, volunteer party, Legion week, (16th –22nd),
and fall supper. Get your tickets early. Take care, Comrades, and
hope to see you around the Branch. Respectfully submitted

The Color Party has had a busy summer. Two members of the Hong
Kong Color Party “Marched on the Colors “ with Cde. Neil Zebinski,
and Dexter Harvey. Cde. Maureen Johnson played music for the Last
Post On July 8/18, members of the Color Party participated in
Commemoration Ceremony honoring members who participates in the
Battle of Hong Kong, Dec 1941 at the Branch. On Sunday July 22/18,
We, Cde Neil Zebinski, Dexter Harvey, and myself marched in the
Parade representing Br 42. On Friday July 27/18, the Color Party
participated in the funeral of Cde. Stan Schactay at Glen Eden
Funeral Home. I have been busy with the Legion Dominion Convention
as the Color Sargent for the Dominion Color Party Team. We lead the
Parade on Sun Aug 26/18 followed by a Memorial Service on Memorial
Blvd in Wpg. I was also a Br Delegate to the 47th Dominion
Convention at the RBC Centre in Wpg and part of LAC Committee for
this Convention.

Legion and Over 60 Sick & Visiting
Bingo Report
Bingo appears to be going well. On Monday, August 27th there was
a record number of people downstairs (62). There was an incident
with one of the bingo players last month. Upon going home, this
individual was mugged; her purse was stolen, and she was pushed
down. It is not known whether this was a targeted attack knowing
this individual was playing bingo or if it was random. All bingo
players: PLEASE BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDING LEAVING BINGO. Casual
cashier are still needed, if interested of know of someone who may
be, please, get in touch with me. Respectively submitted

The Government of France is awarding a
Special Medal to Veterans of the Second
World War Canadian Veterans of the 1944 campaign to
liberate France may be eligible to receive the
National Order of the Legion of Honour.
Since 2014, the Government of France has
been awarding their highest medal, the Legion of
Honour to veterans that participated in the
liberation of France from June 6, 1944 to August
30, 1944.
This is a very significant official award and it is
equal to the Order of Canada. It cannot be
purchased or ordered and is not given
posthumously. This coming year will mark the 75th
Anniversary of D-day and the liberation of France,
and it is hoped that many more veterans will
receive this great honour. If you are a veteran that
fought in this campaign or directly supported it,
and it includes members of the Army, Navy, Air
Force and Merchant Navy, you may be eligible,
so please apply. There is no fee or cost involved.
If you would like to find out more about this
award or would like to apply, please contact Mr.
Guy Black. I am a recipient of the Minister of
Veterans Affairs Commendation and I am an
unofficial volunteer who has been helping
veterans with their medal applications for the past
4 years. Email: [email protected] and
use the subject, "Canadian Veteran" or send me a
letter addressed to Legion of Honour C/O 515 -
95 Moody Street, Port Moody, BC V3H OH2.

Over 60 Club This year the Over 60 Club games day was very
successful. Uncertain weather and smoke in the air led to decision
to move the outdoor game indoors. Not only did we see an increase
in the number of games participants, we had a high level of
interaction among players and spectators. The indoor games enabled
people with physical challenges to participate. The games day
activities provided a focal center of pleasure, enjoyment, goodwill
and fellowship among club members. I want to thank the members who
participated in the games and those who helped in the planning and
organization of the games. Thank you to Reverend Sharman for your
historic military event and grace.

President Over 60 Club
Over 60 Entertainment Games Day turned out to be FUN, FUN, &
FUN. All reports indicated everyone had a great time and enjoyed
playing inside. It was suggested we always keep the games inside in
the future. The few people who did not play thought the juke box
was a good idea and enjoyed the tunes. A couple of others said they
had a great fun just watching the players. Each team was composed
of five players who participated in three different games. The
winning team was: Twyla Vandriel Adrian Vandriel Claude Jones
Cookie McAuley Lynne Kowal 2nd place followed close behind, Dexter
Harvey Jeanne Harvey Glenna Wentworth Randy Adair Grace Hordyski We
also had a cribbage tournament in the Games Room. The winning
twosome was: Bob Leah & Bob Mundt. 2nd place, only a few points
behind was: Helen Starodub & Bev Bruce. Congratulations to all
the winners. A BIG THANK YOU to all the workers who helped in
keeping the games running smoothly. A special thanks to Jack, Carl,
Alice & Lynne for the organizing.
