Legion week has come and gone. So here's what's happening at Branch 18 in Wallaceburg each day. Our Monday night Cribb is back on at 7:30pm. it's $5.00 per person. Tuesday nights is Men's Darts it starts at 7:00pm. Wednesday is open mixed darts it starts up at 7:30 pm it's only a $1.00 per person and lots of fun. Thursdays is Pepper at 7:00pm downstairs it's $2.00 per person. Upstairs is the men's Euchre league. Friday night seems to me to be way too quiet.Everyone remembers how busy it use to be. Well come on everyone, let's make Friday night happening again at Br.18. The bar steward get's lonely Friday night, why not drop in and make her busy. Saturday mornings will be Youth Dart League starting at 10:00 am which is free. But we need 8 to 10 kids to show up each Saturday morning.
Of course there's the Saturday Meat draw, our best kept secret. The fun starts at 4:00pm with Bill & Bert playing, then starting at 5:00pm come the meat draws. Fun, good company and you just might win Sunday's supper.
Of course there's the First Wednesday of the month the Ladies Auxilliary meeting upstairs. The Executive meetings at 6:30pm on the second Monday of the month. Followed by our General members meeting. Folks we need out to this meeting. We cannot do anything without members votes. You do have a choice and a say in how this Legion is run. So please make an effort to come out.
