Tabusintac Legion

Another month has passed and we as legionnaires have been hard at work. Our Fund Raising Committee is working extra hard to get funds for our renovations.
Our legion will have new washrooms put in which will be wheelchair accessible and also there will be work done for a new veterans lounge upstairs. We are trying to raise the sum of 20,000.00 from community support as well as fundraisers. We have also asked for some support from the Government.
A plaque will be placed in recognition of donations from any person who donates the sum of 100.00. This plaque will be put on a brick wall in the legion. Also, any business or person who donates 250.00 or over will get a donor's plaque placed. Anyone interested please call a member of our building committee, Ray 779-4628, Sheila 779-4430, Judy 779-8141, Wilma 779-8124, Malcolm 600-0117
