It will be another great opportunity for you and your spouse to renew old friendships and to also feed the needy with your generous donations to the Knights Table Food Bank.
As the Legion Women’s Auxiliary has to prepare for the number of guests, it is very important to know how many Retirees and their Spouses plan on attending.
Please send an email to our Recording Secretary Doug Berry by September 23, 2022 if you plan on attending. dberry003@hotmail.com
We will be looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you at the luncheon.
Also, President Sandy Knight is arranging to have a last tour of the Bramalea warehouse prior to our luncheon for those retirees that are interested. Those wishing to attend have to confirm their attendance by either email or phone directly with Sandy at sknigh29@ford.com or (905) 454-6080.
