SHARON’S NEWS COLLECTIONS
Here are a number of short stories sent in by Sharon over the last couple of months.
Lauren Albertson was a very happy girl when she discovered she had the lucky numbers for the raffle of a beer fridge at the Classic Rewind on December 14th. The beer fridge was donated for a second year in a row by Canadian Tire and hopefully they will continue to make such valuable donations for our raffles. During a discussion with Lauren the day she picked up the fridge I learned she regularly attends the karaoke at the branch and she has also participated with assistance for the Saturday meat draws. She did mention to me that she was the niece of Bob and Sharon Brady, our former zone commander, who passed away a couple of years ago.
Deb Howes demonstrates how to make animals out of ordinary balloons at the Abbotsford legion. Just goes to show you we are a multi-talented group.
John Howes and John Sorensen stand proudly displaying their sports jackets at the Abbotsford legion on a cool and rainy day. They are both smiling so the weather obviously doesn’t get them down.
(Left): Steve Williams won the mystery gift , an electric jar opener, just before Christmas and immediately donated it to Elfa our bartender who could really make good use of it. What a great gesture on your part, Steve.
(Right): A Mexican meal is just not complete without a sombrero as shown here by Harvey Goodwin as he attempts to impress his wife Marilyn. Nice touch!! The Mexican meal is only one theme the ladies auxiliary do in the course of their lunch preparations.
Harvey Goodwin is centred in the base of an electric grill that he won as the mystery prize at the Abbotsford legion in November 2019. The mystery gifts are items donated by the members as a fundraiser for the branch.
